Honestly, I wasn’t quite sure if I should post this one Recipe should post at all. why? Because it is a simple, classic and almost boring Soup is. If you look around on the blogs or on Instagram, you usually see totally wacky, perfectly staged recipes with the wackiest ingredients. On the other hand, I thought to myself that I definitely don’t want to deprive you of this delicious, autumnal soup. Leeks and Potatoes are the vegetables in the Autumn and me a little time, a few spices and a pot can start. The good soup is refined Soup with fine cashews, how does that work? You will learn more about this further down in the text.
Vegan potato leek soup
Vegan soups in autumn, how about leeks?
What can actually leeks? The vegetables are somehow so “normal” that you hardly think about them. I also usually look first at the superfoods of this world and marvel at the extremely high nutritional values. But if you just take a look around your home garden, you’ll find things as simple as leeks! The vegetable is not boring at all, but from my point of view a great, domestic superfood:
- rich in vitamin C (to be fair, it should be noted that some is lost during cooking).
- High fiber
- Folic acid (important during childbearing and pregnancy)
Let’s start with the list of ingredients. A little frying oil, garlic, onion, leek, potatoes, deglazed with vegetable broth and seasoned with cumin, bay leaf, a pinch of nutmeg, sea salt and pepper. After cooking time, it’s off to the blender, along with a small handful of Cahew nuts which provide a gigantic creaminess. I puree my soup in the Blendtec (advertising since brand name, but bought myself) and use the soup program.
Especially delicious to the soup tastes homemade Spelt roll and if you still don’t have enough of the creaminess, you can use a dash of soy cream to refine it. Voilá! To keep it from looking quite so bland (you can tell I’m stuck on the boring soup theme), I use a few more sesame seeds and some fresh rosemary for decoration.
