Instructions
- Heat olive oil on low heat in a large pot. Add sliced leeks and saute until fragrant and soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes, broth, bay leaves, and rosemary and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover pot and let cook for 20 to 30 minutes until potatoes are easily mashed.
- Add coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and blend until creamy, using either an immersion blender, or regular blender in batches.

Notes
- Want to add some protein? Add white beans to the soup. Once the soup is blended, they will puree right into the soup.
- Bread on the side! This soup pairs exceptionally well with bread or croutons.
- Zero waste idea! Cut the leek greens into strips and fry them up for a crispy topping on the soup.
- Don’t use waxy potatoes such as red potatoes. They don’t cook up as soft and turn out a bit thick and glue-like when blended.
- For a creamier soup, use additional coconut milk from the can.
- An immersion blender is the safest kitchen tool to use for blending soups. If you do use a regular blender use caution transferring the soup, work in small batches and be sure to vent the lid a bit on the blender.
