Potato Leek Soup

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Potato Leek Soup

It’s November, which means it’s time for hearty, soul-warming meals. This soup from Alison Roman gives you everything you need in a soup, the texture from the potatoes, the grassiness from the dill, and the creaminess from the sour cream, it’s perfect. I love the extra vinegar-iness as the finish for a little something special on the palate.

Ingredients

  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil or Unsalted Butter
  • 2 LBS Waxy Potatoes, fingerlings, sliced about 1/2″ thick
  • 2 Leeks (the whole thing) chopped and rinsed well
  • Salt + pepper
  • 6 Cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 Large Bunch of leafy greens, [kale, swiss chard, spinach] stems removed and torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 Cup Sour Cream + more for serving
  • 1 TSP White Wine Vinegar
  • 4 Scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 Cup Dill, coarsely chopped

Let’s Get Cooking

Before getting started be sure to really WASH the leeks, a lot of sediment gets caught in the leaves and you want to make sure to get it all clean. Let the leeks sit in a bowl of water, while you are prepping the rest of the ingredients.

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy bottom pot over MED-HIGH heat. Add in the potatoes + leeks + salt + pepper.

Stir occasionally until the leeks are bright green and have started to break down about 5-8 minutes. Add in water + bouillion/broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the potatoes have started to fall apart and the broth has reduced, about 30-40 minutes. Smoosh a few of the potatoes with a wooden spoon [or whatever] to thicken the soup a little more.

Add in your greens and stir them into the soup, wait about 3-5 minutes and allow them to wilt. Add in the sour cream + vinegar and let simmer for another minute. Season with more salt + pepper + more vinegar if you’d like!

Serve the soup in bowls and top with more sour cream + LOADS OF DILL + more black pepper. I also liked another dash of vinegar.

Serve with some crispy crunchy bread, optimal for dipping!

Spicy Potato Kale Bowls w/ Mustard Tahini Dressing

Categories Recipes6 Comments on Spicy Potato Kale Bowls w/ Mustard Tahini Dressing

I’ve been doing my best to keep up with a ‘meat-less Monday’. I personally find vegan/vegetarian meals boring, they never have that flavor that leaves you satisfied. I found this recipe from This Savory Vegan and I thought I would give it a try. You can never go wrong with potatoes and I was so happy with the way this meal turned out! I recommend this when you are in need of a filling & satisfied meat-less Monday meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion, diced
  • 1 Jalapeño, diced
  • 1 Bell Pepper, diced
  • 1 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1/2 TSP Paprika
  • 1/2 TSP Chili Powder
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1/2 Cup Tahini
  • 2 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 TBSP Yellow Mustard
  • Lemon Juice
  • 1 TSP Oregano
  • 1/2 TSP Garlic Salt
  • Water as needed

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking pan with aluminum/parchment

After dicing all the ingredients in a large bowl combine potatoes + onion + jalapeño + bell pepper + olive oil + paprika + chili powder. Stir to combine evenly.

Spread the mixture on a baking sheet, season with salt + pepper and bake for 25 min. Remove the pan, stir and cook for another 25 min/until the potatoes are soft

As the potatoes are cooking combine the tahini + red wine vinegar + yellow mustard + lemon juice + oregano + garlic salt and stir. I had to add about 2 TBSP of water afterwards to get it to a dressing consistency. Place in the fridge until all ingredients are ready.

Place the kale in a large bowl and add lemon juice. Stir for a minute and place in the fridge.

Once the potatoes are ready place them on top of the kale, add the dressing, and ENJOY!

I found this recipe easy to prep and easy to make a lot for the week.

Always Hungry,
