Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium leeks
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 pounds yellow potatoes peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- green onion thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the leeks thoroughly and then thinly slice. You want the white and light green parts only.
- Turn the Instant Pot on sauté. Add the olive oil, leeks, and garlic and heat just until the leeks begin to soften.
- Add the potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, pepper, salt, chili flakes (if using), and bay leaf and give a gentle stir.
- Place the lid on the pot, turn the valve to sealing, and set to high pressure (manual) for 8 minutes.
- When the timer is complete, let the pot naturally release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes carefully quick release the remaining pressure.
- Remove the lid from the pot and remove the bay leaf. With an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth, or if you preferred you can leave it a bit chunky. Add the lemon juice and stir.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with some sliced green onion if desired. Serve warm.

Notes
- If you don't have an immersions blender, you can blend the soup in batches in a blender. Just be careful not to fill the blender more than 2/3 full at a time.
