Potato Leek Soup

 This soup is ridiculously good. And simple.


INGREDIENTS:
 8 small white potatoes (or any equivalent color), washed but not peeled, and diced
2 large leeks, both white and green parts
4-6  carrots
1 yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tsp thyme (fresh would be better)
1/2 tsp rosemary (fresh would be better)
2 cubes bouillon
5 cups water
1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
fresh black pepper to taste
1 cup plain almond milk

INSTRUCTIONS: 
  • Rinse the leeks and slice them thinly. 
  • Dice the potatoes. 
  • Heat the oil in your large stockpot, saute the leeks for a few minutes. 
  • Saute the potatoes (take care they don’t stick) and onion.
  • Add the bouillon, water, salt and herbs. 
  • Simmer until the potatoes are very soft, about 20 minutes. 
  • Add the pepper.
  • In a blender, blend all or part of the soup depending on how smooth you want it.
  • Stir in the milk.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • 2 cubes bouillon 
  • 5-6 cups water
  • 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
  • fresh black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain almond milk (or any other kind of milk- eg. soy, cow, rice)
