This simple vegan potato leek soup with pumpkin is pure creamy comfort food \u2013 made completely without cream. Instead, cashews provide the perfect texture, while potatoes, leeks, and pumpkin turn it into a nutrient-rich meal that makes you full and happy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n For me, potato leek soup<\/strong> is a true all-time favorite<\/strong> \u2013 when it\u2019s cold outside, there\u2019s hardly anything better than snuggling up on the couch with a big bowl of soup or stew (second and third place currently go to my vegetable-bean soup<\/a> and lentil sauerkraut stew<\/a>). At the same time, I love pumpkin <\/strong>in all variations. As soon as September arrives, my kitchen counter is stacked with Hokkaido, butternut, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this recipe, I combine both loves: a creamy, warming leek and potato soup with pumpkin, refined with homemade cashew cream instead of dairy cream or cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche. It\u2019s easy to prepare, healthy, and filling.<\/strong> Perfect for cold days when you crave a big bowl of soul food.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n That should be obvious \u2013 because who could say no to a bowl of wholesome, vegan leek and potato soup<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this creamy, vegan creamy potato leek soup with pumpkin, you only need a handful of wholesome ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See recipe card for quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer a creamy and smooth soup<\/strong>, go for potatoes that break down easily, like Yukon Gold<\/strong> with their naturally buttery, rich flavor. Personally, I enjoy a chunkier texture<\/strong>, so I usually go for a starchier variety like Russet potatoes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n As mentioned, making this not-so-classic wholesome potato leek soup without cream doesn\u2019t require any special cooking skills. The most tedious part is chopping and prepping the leek, potatoes, and pumpkin. Be sure to clean the leek well<\/strong>, since dirt often hides between the leaves. Nobody wants sandy soup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the veggies and other ingredients are in the pot, you can sit back and relax for a while. I personally like when the soup is not completely smooth but still has texture \u2013 more like a hearty chunky vegan leek potato soup<\/strong> \u2013 so I use a potato masher <\/strong>instead of blending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer it completely smooth, you can use an immersion blender for a fully silky, creamy<\/strong> potato leek soup \u2013 or blend just part of it to keep some texture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Of course! For this, simply replace the pumpkin with the same amount of potatoes or celeriac. For a vegan potato-carrot soup, swap the pumpkin for the same amount of carrots.<\/p> <\/div> Coconut milk is a great alternative. If you want to keep it nut-free, simply use a vegan cream substitute such as oat or soy cream.<\/p> <\/div> I haven\u2019t tested it myself yet, but it should work as well. I would stir in the pumpkin pur\u00e9e at the end together with the cashew cream and then heat everything through. You may want to reduce the amount of broth at the beginning and add more later, if needed.<\/p> <\/div> For a creamy, smooth soup, use Yukon Gold potatoes. For a chunkier texture, starchy Russets work best.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Here are more vegan soups that are nutritious, easy to make, and absolutely delicious:<\/p>\n\n\n I hope you\u2019ll give this easy potato leek soup with pumpkin. recipe a try.
