Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 leeks thinly sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 3 medium potatoes peeled and diced into small cubes
- 2 cup chicken/vegetable broth
- 2 cups almond milk
- 4 strips cooked bacon crumbled
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot over medium heat and saute sliced leeks for about 5 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally. Season leeks to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
- Add potatoes and 2 cups chicken/vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Cover with a lid and boil for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are very soft. Add 2 cups almond milk (less or more, depending on how thick or thin you like the soup). Using a hand blender, puree the soup until smooth. Again, season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep soup warm until it's time to serve.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with thin slices of leeks, crumbled bacon, and some freshly grounded black pepper.
Notes
- Make the soup in a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven. A heavier pan will distribute heat more evenly and is less likely to scorch the soup.
- Yukon gold or russet potatoes both work well.
- If making ahead of time, let the soup cool before storing it.
