Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 medium leeks thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 3 pounds potatoes peeled and diced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 14 ounce can coconut milk
- chives to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients. Wash and slice the leeks and peel and dice the potatoes. Peel and chop the garlic.
- Add the olive oil to a large dutch oven or stock pot and heat over medium heat.
- Add the leeks to the pot and cook until the leeks are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the white wine and cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes, then add the thyme.
- Add the vegetable broth, potatoes, bay leaves, and salt and pepper to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the bay leaves from the soup.
- Allow the soup to cool to a manageable temperature then use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the soup until it's smooth.
- Stir in the coconut milk. Taste the soup and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish the soup with chives and an additional swirl of coconut milk (if desired) and enjoy!
Notes
If you'd like to garnish the soup with coconut milk, reserve 1 cup of the coconut milk instead of adding it in Step 10. Add 2 tablespoon to each serving of soup then top with chives.
