"Dairy free potato leek soup with a special twist. This is full of flavor and with not much hand chopping. Quick to make, nutritious and filling. If you have beef bones to make your own stock, it really comes out with a full flavor. Adjust salt to taste. There is no pureeing in this soup, rather finer chopping helps it to be on the "creamier"..."
