Easy Dinner Recipes: Vegan Potato Leek Soup

Potato Leek Soup with crunchy chickpea garnish

The first time I bought a leek for cooking I had no idea that you only used the white bulb part of the vegetable for cooking. I actually froze the leaves so that when I have a collection of leftover veggies I can make my own vegetable broth!

I’m telling you, back in the early days of our marriage, almost 11 years ago (what??), I used to cook the most bland meals day after day. I don’t know why I didn’t pay attention to my mom’s delicious home made recipes every night, but I guess it just wasn’t my passion back then.

Now, I love trying new recipes and using foods that I never even knew existed until I became a vegetarian and then vegan.

Vegan Potato Leek Soup notes:

This recipe is perfect for a healthy week night meal or an easy weekend dinner when you have been out and about. It comes together very well and is very nice as is, or puréed for younger members of the family. Oliver loves his soups pureed vs chunky so I always get to taste them both ways to see which I like better. I think I liked this one as-is funnily enough because I am almost always team purée.

The soup has a hint of garlic but it is defiantly not over powering at all. Please visit the Rebelle Kitchen Pinterest page for all your favorite recipes in one place!

For the chickpea nibbles (optional)


Preheat the oven to 400℉. Remove a handful of the chickpeas before putting the rest of them into the pot for the soup. Pat the handful of chickpeas dry with a hand towel.


Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle oil over them to coat them thoroughly. Sprinkle garlic salt, coriander, italian herbs and a touch of cayenne powder on top and mix in.


Bake for 10 minutes then mix them around again before baking them for an additional 5-10 minutes until crunchy. Place them on the soup when ready to serve.
