Potato Leek Soup

Gluten-free/Dairy Free soup!

Soup is honestly so easy to make and so rewarding. I don't know why I don't make it often enough.

If you're living dairy-free, but not gluten-free, you've GOT to try this one:

I've made it several times, never being disappointed. It's amazing. Unfortunately, now that I'm living gluten-free, it's out of my books.

Today's project is Cream of Potato Leek Soup!

And guess what. It was delicious. Even my dairy-eating, gluten-eating, regular type diet man loved it!


The ingredients list is very simple:

1.5 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes
3 large Leeks
Dairy-Free Milk Substitute (I used Almond)
Salt
Pepper
Gluten-Free Chicken Broth
Olive Oil
Chives (optional)

Heres the recipe:
TO PREP:
Peel and chop 1.5 pounds of Yukon Gold Potatoes (into 2 inch chunks)
Cut white and light green part of 3 large leeks into 1 inch sections

NEXT:
Fry leeks over low/medium heat with 2 tbsp Olive Oil until semi-soft
Add 1 L of Chicken broth, and put in potatoes.
Cook over medium heat until potatoes are soft.
Add 1 1/4 cup milk substitute
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Blend in a blender till smooth

Put back on the stove, and cook for an additional 20 minutes over low heat.

Top with chives, and if you're feeling crazy- crunched up tortilla chips!
