A comforting Winter warmer that will keep you going throughout the chilly weather, this Creamy Potato and Burnt Leek Soup is a great weeknight meal that is full of flavor and creaminess, and is served with a garlic and herb bun as the cherry on top.
What Is in this potato and leek soup?
This potato and leek soup consists of cubed and boiled potatoes, sliced leeks that are pan-fried in butter, and garlic, coconut cream, and coconut milk. The coconut milk adds a slight nuttiness and freshness to the soup, while the coconut cream adds a rich and creamy texture that works perfectly with the thick and silky potatoes. Once all the potatoes have cooked through, all of the ingredients are blended together until a smooth consistency is achieved. The soup does call for salt and pepper, but you can season it however you would like.
Don’t Forget Your Buns, Hun!
This delectable soup is served with garlic and herb baked bread buns that have cheese and bacon bits inside. You can, however, include whatever spices or ingredients you would like in your bread buns, such as rosemary, onion, or even some chopped up chili. These buns add a crisp texture that is perfect for dipping into the soup.
