Chunky Leek and Potato Soup (No Cream)
Description
Chunky Leek and Potato Soup combines basic vegetables—leek, potato, and carrot—cooked until tender in a vegetable broth enriched with tomato paste and dried herbs. The leek is first softened in a butter and olive oil mixture to develop sweetness before adding the root vegetables and stock to simmer. The soup is finished with seasoning and fresh chopped parsley, giving a subtle herbal note. The absence of cream keeps the soup lighter but the butter and oil provide a smooth mouthfeel.
The result is a hearty, rustic vegetable soup with visible chunks of softened vegetables, suited for a starter or light meal. It pairs well with crusty bread for dipping. The recipe's straightforward method makes it approachable and practical for home cooks seeking a vegetable soup without dairy.
