Creamy Potato Leek Soup

Ali Segersten (author)

I like to use creamy Yukon gold potatoes in this recipe though any variety will do. If you use Russets you may want to peel them. For all other varieties it is fine to leave the peel on. Use this recipe to test for a nightshade sensitivity in Phase 3 of the Elimination Diet. Serve this delicious dairy-free soup with a gluten-free flatbread and a green salad.

Just made this! My whole family devoured it. It was really quick to put together. I love that the soup doesn't need broth/stock to be soo tasty (super sensitive to broth-based soups). I love that it doesn't have dairy (also sensitive to dairy). It's a perfect blend of absolutely yummy, healthy, soothing, and simple to prepare. Will make again soon!

I made this for the first time this evening and my husband and I really enjoyed it. I am not a fan of dill, so I only used 1 teaspoon and doubled the thyme. It turned out very flavorful and was very hearty. This is a great fall/winter soup.
