Even though spring is technically here, we have still had some chilly temps, and will continue to do so for a while. So, I will still be reaching for soup recipes for a few more weeks!

And this dairy free potato leek soup is just the recipe to make when you’re craving easy comfort food.

This is a really simple recipe: it just requires celery, leeks, potatoes, stock, and non-dairy milk. After some time simmering, you’ll need to blend it all up with your immersion blender, and then enjoy!

Non-Dairy Milk

You can use any non-dairy milk that works for your diet. I used So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk. You could use rice milk, oat milk, soy milk, or any milk you choose that does not have a strong flavor.

Substitutions

  • I love the flavor of leeks in this soup, but if you don’t have them, you can go ahead and use a regular onion
  • If you can’t have bacon, you can leave it out or use vegan bacon
  • Use any broth that works for your particular dietary needs

Washing Leeks

Leeks can have some dirt and grit in them, so you do want to clean them thoroughly before you use them in a recipe.

Just trim off the dark green ends, and the root end of the white part. Then slice the leeks into rings and rinse under water. Place the sliced leeks in a bowl of water and swirl them around, then drain.

Author Kelly Roenicke

Ingredients

  • 3 leeks white and light green parts
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread or real butter
  • 6 Yukon Gold Potatoes peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • 1 ½ cups non-dairy milk I used So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • â…› teaspoon pepper
  • parsley
  • cooked bacon
US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  1. Clean the leeks: Remove the dark green parts and the root ends and discard. Cut the leeks in half and then slice them into half moons. Place in a large bowl of cold water and use your hands to agitate to remove all the dirt. Remove from the water carefully, making sure any dirt stays at the bottom of the bowl.
  2. Put the vegan buttery spread, leeks, and celery in a large stock pot. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add the potatoes and stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

  4. Add the non-dairy milk and salt and stir. Puree the soup using an immersion blender. I like to leave some potato chunks in there – you can decide how smooth you want the soup to be.

  5. Season with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve topped with fresh parsley and bacon.

Recipe Notes

This soup should stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

If you don’t have leeks, you can use regular onions.

Feel free to leave out the bacon if you are vegan.

      Potatoes don’t usually freeze all that well. You can do it, but the texture may change.

    Awesome recipe…tastes so fresh! I used a tiny bit of bacon grease to fry my celery and leeks…added a little hint of bacon flavour

    Potato leek is one of my go to soups- it is sooo easy, yet seems so gourmet. I make it without milk, just good homemade stock. It is still full of flavour and if you don’t want the dairy, I suppose that helps. Any topping you would put on baked potato works well- I like your bacon addition. Sometimes I just serve with a square of butter and some chives. Nice and simple. Thanks for sharing.

    I’ve made soup twice this month. We have been spending a lot if time in the mountains where the morning temperatures are low 50’s so I think it’s the cool crisp weather that’s making me start to crave it. This recipe looks so good and creamy.
