Thai Potato Leek Soup
Description
Thai Potato Leek Soup starts by sautéing and simmering diced leeks, peeled potato, pearl onions, and garlic with chicken broth and Thai green curry paste. The combined ingredients are cooked until tender, then blended until smooth, resulting in a creamy consistency. Adding coconut milk after blending introduces a rich, mellow sweetness that balances the spice from the curry paste. The soup's texture is velvety, with the curry and coconut creating layers of flavor distinctive of Thai cuisine.
This soup serves well warm with fresh basil leaves to bring a light herbal note and optional croutons that add a crisp texture contrast. It's suitable as a starter or light meal, offering a comforting taste with a uniquely spiced profile.
While the recipe uses a SoupMaker for cooking and blending, stovetop preparation can achieve the same result by simmering the ingredients and using an immersion blender. Skipping croutons makes this soup Whole30 compliant. The recipe’s flexibility in cooking approaches makes it accessible with common kitchen equipment.
Ingredients
- 2 cups leek
- 1 russet potato
- 2 pearl onions white
- 5 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp thai green curry paste
- 2.5 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
- pinch salt
- 1 can coconut milk (500 grams)
- crouton optional toppings
- basil optional toppings
Instructions
- Dice up your leek in approximately 2 inch cubes (should be 2 cups worth), potato (peeled), pearl onions, and garlic cloves.
- Add the chopped ingredients into the SoupMaker, making sure it is between the min/max line, add the chicken stock and green curry paste. Give everything a stir.
- Put the lid onto the SoupMaker and select the creamy soup option (first one) and let it run its course.
- Once it’s done, add the coconut milk into the soup and stir. Top with basil and croutons if you desire.
Notes
- If you lack a SoupMaker, simmer all ingredients except coconut milk in a pot, blend smooth with an immersion blender, then stir in coconut milk.
- Skip croutons to keep the soup compliant with Whole30 dietary guidelines.
- Check the soup’s thickness after blending; adjust broth or coconut milk to reach preferred consistency.
