Ok let’s be honest, no soup will never beat the Food by Maria “lentils soup” (yes the one from the book that I make at least once a week), but this potatoes and leak soup is just delicious and oh god so easy to make! I do not have white miso I made it without it and I do not know what I am missing but this no miso version is absolutely amazing. This has become one of my classic, it yummy, it’s nourrishing, and it’s fast to make, what more could we ask for?!

Maria Koutsogiannis

Thank you so much for the love sweetie, I am so grateful you love this recipe!

This soup is so creamy and amazing!! I haven’t ventured too much into vegan cooking but I try to eat more plant based as much as possible and this recipe didn’t disappoint. Looking forward to leftovers this week and will be making again 🙂

Maria Koutsogiannis

This makes me so happy Vicky! If you’re looking for another recipe to make that is plant-forward for your family… you have to make the meat sauce. It’s soo good!

Gina

This was amazing. Sadly I like it waaaay better before I added the coconut milk. Making this again without the coconut milk

Maria Koutsogiannis

If you’re not a fan of coconut milk then I would totally suggest that! Glad you enjoyed the soup!!!

Kelcie Howren

This soup is pure GOLD!! Don’t hesitate and make it today! Vegan or not you will not be disappointed, the total opposite and thoroughly satisfied with this creamy hearty bowl of greatness! My Grandma had a taste, nearly fainted with its overwhelming tastiness then said that is the greatest thing I’ve ever had in my mouth 😂 I did add a little lemon zest and juice full discourse but truly Maria hit the nail on the head with this one! I thank you!!

Maria Koutsogiannis

YESS!! So glad your grandma loved it this much girl!!!!!!

Ana

Hi Maria! What kind of coconut milk is used in this soup? I never know what recipes mean by coconut milk, do they mean the carton coconut milk thats like almond milk, or canned coconut milk? and is it light/heavy?, what percentage of fat coconut milk, etc? Thanks so much!

Lauren Marinigh

Hi Ana! I usually use the canned coconut milk from the grocery store. Shouldn’t matter the fat level but I find the canned stuff to be thicker than the stuff you buy in the carton 🙂

Amazing for those cold evenings! Fast, healthy, savory.

Maria Koutsogiannis

Yess!! So glad you loved this one Abbey!!!

Emma

OMG, I could only wish for freezing! It’s 43C (110F) here today. Do like soup though. Might try this ne when it’s cooler though!

Alexia Tedesco

Such a great, easy vegan soup to make for a weeknight meal. I skipped the last step and kept it chunky – so delicious and filling!

Maria Koutsogiannis

YESSS!! Chunky for life!!!! I love this soup all ways but there’s really something to be said about chunky! Thanks for the love xx

I wasn’t expecting to love this recipe, but WOW! The perfect way to use our home grown leeks. Highly recommend adding the hit of lime to pull all the flavors together.

Maria Koutsogiannis

YESS!! this makes me so happy, thank you for the love, Alberta!
