Are you ready to try Magic Leek Soup? It's said that French ladies drink leek soup broth to keep their lean figures, but I'm not really interested in that bit of diet advice!
Aside from that, leek soup, made creamy from a few boiled potatoes (not milk or cream) and simply seasoned with salt and bay leaves, is delicious!
This recipe is also magical because it's very easy to make. With just 6 ingredients and 30 minutes, you'll be enjoying a warm bowl of this tasty vegan soup.
Why This Magic Leek Soup Recipe is So Good
- Rustic and Delicious - There's just something about a good leek soup recipe! Just like my Instant Pot Potato Leek Soup and Vegan Tortilla Soup this one is so simple, but completely comforting and amazing.
- Fast and Easy - You need 6 common ingredients and about 30 minutes to make the most magic leek soup there is.
- Creamy and Dairy Free - The creaminess of magic leek soup comes from blended potatoes - there's no need to add any milk or cream to the pot. That's also why this recipe is low in fat.
Tips and Tricks for Making This Recipe
- Less is More! The beautiful thing about this recipe and about potato leek soup in general is that it doesn't really need much fuss. Simple ingredients, minimal seasonings, and a foolproof cooking method are all you need.
- Be sure to wash the leeks very well. They tend to hold on to dirt inside all of their layers. I like to chop the leeks, then place them into a large bowl of cold water. The sandy dirt will sink to the bottom and the leeks will float.
- An immersion blender is such a handy gadget to have, and I especially love it for easily blending up soups right in the pot!
- To Store: Leek soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen for a few months! I like to freeze soups in individual serving sizes so that they're easy to reheat for lunches.
What to Serve with Magic Leek Soup
Enjoy a hot bowl of soup with your favorite sandwich, or some easy Air Fryer Garlic Bread.

I loved this recipe! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I care for an elderly neighbour and she absolutely loves leek soup, so I'm using your tip of freezing in smaller portions, so that she can easily reheat for herself when she gets hungry.
I've passed on your recipe to her, and you have made an old lady very happy, so thank you from both of us!
Oh how lovely, Shelley! It's nice to spread a bit of kindness whenever we can. You are both so welcome! 🙂
