Ingredients:
Gluten-Free, Vegan, Serves 4
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 leeks, cleaned and sliced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the diced potatoes, diced carrots, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir to combine and sauté for another 2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot.
Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches to blend until smooth and creamy. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir the unsweetened almond milk. Heat the soup over medium heat until warmed through. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
