Leek and potato soup with rainbow chard 🥣 (vegan)

Hi folks,

Here's a soup that I made yesterday with leeks, onion and potatoes and topped with rainbow chard. I used home made stock and coconut milk, so it's suitable for vegans.

This is a really simple soup as you just cook leek, onion and potato (I cook mine in their skin) blended with a little salt and black pepper and coconut milk. Tonight I topped with rainbow chard cut into little pieces and gently fried for 5 mins in olive oil. Its a complete meal in a bowl and very easy to make.

I love soup this time of year 😊

Potato soup is a favorite of mine. Never had leeks in the soup before, so I will have to try it this way soon! Thank you, Hidden for the idea.

Looks amazing. My stepdad made a very nice potato and leek soup, even as a child I couldn’t get enough.

The rainbow chard on top gives it that bit extra. Nice one! x

Thanks Alicia, I hope you enjoyed your mushroom burgers 😊

The burgers needed more flavour but as I have said to Zest I used Portobello Mushrooms and not Chestnut ones and that would have made a difference to the flavour. I will use herbs next times as I love the flavour of herbs.

Hi Alicia, sorry I missed your reply to Zest, thanks for posting the recipe as I love chick peas and chestnut mushrooms so will defo being making some.

And you know for next time as chestnut mushrooms have a lovely peppery flavour.

Jerry 😊

Ps I've used portobello mushrooms instead of a pizza base.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Sounds great, Hidden . Portobello mushrooms are a great idea.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Don't worry about that Jerry, I'll tag you next time. Chestnut Mushrooms have a lovely flavour.

I'll have a look at using the Portobello Mushrooms for a pizza base, a very good idea.

Are leeks in season year round, Hidden ?

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

the ones i have found where imported from new zealand and they sold in the same day as they didnt have the next day.

the last few visits to that suppermarket they didnt have.
