The best ever creamy and delicious vegan potato leek soup. This soup is hearty, comforting, filling and satisfying and you need to make a huge portion so you can enjoy it for days. This recipe has been created with Slimming World in mind but it would also be suitable for a WW follower or someone following a calorie deficit.
Now, I’ll admit, leeks are not particularly my favourite food…. but do you know what? Thrown into a soup with some delicious stodgy potatoes they are amazing! Prepare to be comforted! Nothing hits the spot or soothes the soul quite like a warm bowl of creamy soup. It took some tinkering, but I have created what I think is the best Vegan friendly leek and potato soup. Enjoy it… and don’t let it put you off just because it’s vegan.. it is absolutely delicious.

Looking to take this soup to work?
My dad actually recommended this product after he started his weight loss journey. He is obsessed with homemade soup (and his soup maker may I add..) and he was desperate to take soup to work. His company is tight and wouldn’t fork out for a microwave so he invested in this awesome soup thermos. It will keep food hot for up to 6 hours! Perfect for soup, porridge, curry etc.
Is this recipe Slimming World friendly?
Oh yes absolutely…
One of the annoying things about SW is that tinned soup contains Syns!! But make it yourself using Syn Free ingredients and you can devour until your hearts content (or should I say stomach if full?)
This recipe uses some of your Healthy Extra A portion, but it is totally worth it.. and if I am honest I have problems using it up most days anyway.
