A quick and easy meal that takes about 30 minutes to put together and will make for excellent leftovers. Serve it with my Rosemary Fennel Sea Salt bread and you're fully set. Naturally gluten free and vegan, itβs a meal for everyone to love and enjoy.
β Ingredients
4 large leeks (cut the roots of and clean any dirt off the leeks), slice into about 1/2 inch pieces
3 tbsp Garlic Expressions dressing + marinade
3 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
1 carton of vegetable stock (~4 cups)
3-4 lbs potatoes (I used gold baby potatoes from our CSA box), diced into about 1-1/2 inch cubes
1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tsp celery salt
1 fennel bulb, diced into about 1 inch pieces
1 tsp black pepper, or to taste
1 can of white navy beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of coconut milk (refrigerated and only scoop the cream on the top out)
2-3 cups of water to thin
β Instructions
In a large dutch oven or Insta Pot, add your sliced leeks, sliced fennel, celery salt, Garlic Expressions dressing + marinade.
Over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for about 5 minutes until leeks are starting to get golden and appear translucent.
Then add diced potatoes, vegetable stock, sea salt and thyme. Give a good stir and place cover on and cook for about 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Then add in the can of white beans, the cream from the coconut milk and stir together again.
After a couple minutes, take about half to 3/4 of the soup and place in a high speed blender. Depending on if you want it more creamy or chunky. I pureed about 3/4 of the soup.
Then transfer the pureed portion back into the rest on the stove/Insta Pot and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
In a small frying pan, add about 1/4 cup leeks and 1-2 tbsp of Garlic Expressions and brown until crispy. These will be the crunchy toppings on your soup.
Slice up some green onions and a few sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Prepare a fresh loaf of my Rosemary Fennel Sea Salt bread to pair with this soup. The two pair perfectly together.
