Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. lactose-free margarine
- 4 medium leeks, white and pale green parts only, sliced 1" thick
- 1½ lbs. potatoes, peeled and cut into 2" pieces
- 2½ cups chicken broth
- ½ tsp. salt
- ⅛ tsp. ground white pepper
- 1¼ cups soy milk
- ½ tsp. ground black pepper
Directions
- Melt margarine over medium-high heat in a large soup pot. Add the leek and sauté until soft, not allowing to brown, about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Divide soup in half. Place in blender, adding ¾ cup of soy milk. Purée until smooth. Empty soup into a large bowl. Repeat with remaining soup, adding ½ cup soy milk.
- Place puréed soup back in soup pot. If necessary, thin the soup by adding more soy milk, a little at a time, until desired consistency. Reheat soup over low heat, stirring occasionally. Take care not to boil soup. Season with black pepper and serve hot.
