In advance in the video: Cooking soup: These are the 3 mistakes most people make
In January I like to try out meatless recipes for Veganuary. Like this heavenly leek cream soup.
Wintertime is soup time! When it's cold and uncomfortable outside, there's nothing nicer than a steaming bowl of soup that warms you from the inside.
For example, it's very popular with me in the winter months. But sometimes I feel like a meat-free version. In keeping with Veganuary, try out this heavenly creamy leek soup. Potatoes and (vegan) cream ensure that it is nice and creamy. I like to stir in a bit of grated cheese at the end. But if you still have processed cheese in the fridge that needs to go, you can also add a tablespoon of it to the soup - delicious!
