Easy and delicious curried leek potato soup, prepared with 5 ingredients only, and packed with warm, comforting flavors. The soup is also naturally vegan and gluten-free!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 white or yellow medium onion, chopped
  • 2 to 3 medium-large leeks (400g), sliced
  • 1 pound (450g) potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 cups (750 ml) vegetable stock, or more as needed
  • 1 Tablespoon yellow curry powder*
  • ½ teaspoon paprika powder*
  • Salt and pepper, to taste*

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add onions, and sauté for a few minutes until softened.
  2. Add the curry powder, the paprika, stir, and sauté for a few additional minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Cut the ends of the leeks, remove the outer layer and chop off the dark green tops. Slice the leeks, place in a colander and rinse well to get rid of any soil.
  4. Add leeks to the onion mixture, and leave to sweat and cook. The leeks will reduce in volume and become soft and wilted. It may take around 10 minutes.
  5. Add the diced potatoes to the pan along with the vegetable stock, and leave to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Use a hand blender (or transfer to a blender) and blend until smooth. Place back in the saucepan on low-medium heat, and adjust seasoning* as needed. Serve into bowls with a drizzle of olive oil, and garnish with sprouts or herbs of your choice. Enjoy warm!

Notes

* Depending on your own tastes and how sensitive you are to spicy food, you may need to add or reduce the amount of curry. It’s always better to add a little less in the beginning and adjust the seasoning in the end. Also, paprika is optional, so feel free to skip it for any reason of yours. Taste, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
