Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 leeks, chopped
- 2 pounds yellow potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 3 Carrots, peeled & chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 cooking onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp of vegetable bouillon powder
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp Marjoram
- 1½ tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tbsp mild curry powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- cashew cream, to serve
Instructions
- Place all the carrots, celery, onion, leeks, garlic, marjoram, parsley, thyme, curry powder, and a heavy pinch of salt into a large pot, and cook for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are sweating and fragrant.
- Add potatoes and cook for an additional minute.
- Add bouillon, yeast, bay leaves, and fill the pot with water to just cover everything (about 6 cups).
- Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to med and allow it to simmer for approximately 40 mins, gradually lowering the heat as necessary.
- Remove the bay leaves.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Now the fun part. There are two ways to do this depending on your mood. Option # 1: Letting out frustration, Take a potato masher and beat the daylights out of your vegetables in the pot, leaving a few chunks for texture and bite.
Or, the less aggressive option... option # 2: If you have a blender or immersion blender you can blend the soup until you reach your desired consistency.
Notes
To prevent an unfortunate mess you may have to blend in batches and then mix the portions together in another pot.
Make some toast and enjoy this soup on a cold Sunday afternoon with your sweetheart by your side.
