Potato and Leek Soup

My super sweet hubby surprised me with a copy of Alicia Silverstone's new book The Kind Diet.  I think it had some kind of peanut butter dessert recipe he was hoping he would get...  It gave me some inspiration.  I have not had alot of that lately as you can see from looking at the date of my last post.  So I went to the local grocery store and bought some leeks.  Leeks are new to me.  So after looking at many recipes on the internet pretty much the only recipe I found was Potato and Leek Soup.  Super easy and I LOVE potatoes! By the way I found that I really like the leeks to so I will definitely look for other recipes for leeks.  Probably in a tofu quiche.  So this is what I did...

2 russett potatoes peeled and diced into 1/2 in cubes
1 onion diced
2 leeks sliced thin (white and white/green parts)
4 garlic cloves
4 c veg broth
1 c soymilk
1 tbsp vegan butter
salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot over med heat saute the onion and leeks (about 5 min.)  Add garlic,veg broth and potatoes and cook until potatoes are soft.  (about 20 min)  add butter and soymilk, salt and pepper.   Use an immersion blender to blend soup until it is still a little bit chunky.  Done and delicious!
