Ingredients

  • 1 Medium Onion White, Yellow or Brown, Chopped
  • 1 tsp Crushed Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 Large Leeks white and light green parts only, chopped
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp Dried Rosemary
  • ½ tsp Ground Coriander
  • 6 Medium Potatoes (2.2lb/1kg) peeled and chopped*
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 4 cups Vegetable Stock/Broth (960ml)

Instructions

  • Add the chopped onion and leeks to a pot with the crushed garlic and olive oil and sauté until softened. Add in the thyme, rosemary and coriander powder and sauté.
  • Add the chopped potatoes, bay leaves and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are soft and cooked.
  • Remove from the heat and remove the bay leaves.
  • Then add in the coconut cream.
  • Blend the soup using an immersion blender for the easiest blending or, if you don't have an immersion blender, transfer in stages to a blender jug and blend until smooth.

  • Serve with fresh chopped chives.

Notes

  1. Potatoes. If you're in the US then Russet potatoes are the best to use in this soup. If you're elsewhere in the world then just choose any standard starchy white potato. 
  2. Coconut cream. You can also use full fat, canned, unsweetened coconut milk.
  3. Storing. Leftovers keep very well in a covered container in the fridge for 4-5 days. You can reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
  4. Freezing. It's also freezer friendly for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. You may want to immersion blend it again once thawed, as there may be some slight separation that may occur.
