Ingredients
- 2 leeks, halved lengthwise and sliced (1½ cups)
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cups russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
- 4 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
Instructions
- In a large saucepan cook leeks over medium about 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking.
- Add broth and potatoes. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Using an immersion blender, blend mixture until smooth. Stir in milk and vinegar; season with pepper. Transfer to an airtight container; chill at least 4 hours or overnight. If desired, thin soup with additional milk after chilling. Before serving, stir in mint.
