Preparation

Step 1


Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, shallot, and garlic and sauté for 3–5 minutes until fragrant and softened.


Step 2


Add the sliced leeks and continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes until they begin to soften.


Step 3


Stir in the potatoes, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes.


Step 4


Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.


Step 5


Remove from the heat and stir in the plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.


Step 6


Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy, or leave a little texture if preferred.
