1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 3 garlic cloves minced ½ cup onion peeled and chopped 3 cups leek white part only (chopped) 2 cups carrots peeled and chopped 1 cup white potato peeled and diced 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 5 cups veggie broth green onions for garnishing
In a large pot over high heat, add olive oil. When the oil are hot, turn the heat down to medium and add garlic, onions and leeks. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add carrots, potatoes, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well.
Add vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Using an immersion hand blender or a counter-top blender puree the veggies.
Taste and add any extra seasonings, if necessary. Serve topped with fresh green onions
If you find the soup too thick for your liking, you can add more broth to thin it out.
A pinch of cayenne pepper powder will add a nice kick of heat to the soup.
A few of my favourite soup garnishes include crispy sage, chopped nuts, toasted seeds! Feel free to play around with the recipe!
To store: Store leftover carrot leek soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To reheat: Reheat the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot. Since it's thick, you'll need to stir it throughout.
To freeze: Freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Make sure you leave space when freezing as liquid expands as it freezes.
