Potato Leek and Veggie Soup

Potato Leek & Veggie Soup

I love potato leek soup. The traditional potato leek soup with cream and butter is a favorite version I love to enjoy from time to time! I recently ventured into the kitchen to create a potato leek soup without the cream and butter. I wanted to get the potato leek flavors and also have a filling and nutritious bowl of soup. That is where the added veggies came in to play! This velvety and creamy soup is packed with flavor and is a satisfying meal!

Naturally, this soup started with russet potatoes and leeks! I decided to add carrots, celery and garlic for added nutrition and flavor.

The soup tasted delicious before getting out my immersin blender, but the creamy factor was missing. So, once this soup was puréed, the creaminess came alive! Creamy and delicious flavors with adding cream and butter! It worked!

I kept the toppings simple with just some chopped green onions. Other great toppings could be cheese, sour cream or greek yourt, or even bacon (if you are a meat eater).

This smooth and creamy soup packs great flavor!
