Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Potato Soup Recipes

Time 4h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup vegan butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large leeks, diced
1 yellow onion, minced
1 large carrot, diced
1 cup minced Pleurotus mushrooms (oyster mushrooms)
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup unsweetened oat milk, divided
1 tablespoon potato starch
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on the Saute function on your slow cooker. Heat vegan butter and olive oil. Add leeks, onion, carrot, and mushrooms. Cook and stir until leeks and onions are translucent and softened, carrots have softened, and minced mushrooms have liquefied, about 7 minutes. Add potatoes and vegetable broth; mix well. Mix 1 tablespoon of the oat milk with potato starch to create a slurry and stir it into the soup.
  • Heat remaining oat milk in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until hot, about 30 seconds. Pour it into the soup and season with salt and pepper. Turn off Saute function.
  • Cook in the slow cooker on Low for 6 hours or on High for 3 1/2 hours. Stir soup before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include Yukon Gold, Russet, and Red potatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many potatoes and leeks to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Cook the soup in batches if necessary.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for a bit of extra flavor.
  • Garnish the soup before serving. A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of chives, or a drizzle of olive oil will add a nice finishing touch to your soup.

Conclusion:

Potato leek soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be made with a variety of ingredients. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give potato leek soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
