Potato & Leek Mustard Soup

Hello :) why would we not use the green part of the leek? What effect would it have on the soup if I put it in? Thanks

Hey friend! The dark green part of the leek is a bit tougher and more fibrous, which might affect the texture of the soup. That said, you can definitely use it - just chop it finely and cook it a little longer to soften. It might add a slightly earthier flavour 🙂

Thank you! Good to know :)!

Omg! This is so simple and satisfying! I’m not a vegetarian. I subscribed to PUL mainly because of the pretty presentation. Lol. But now!!!! These are not just pretty, they are delicious and nutritious :) - thank you for your efforts to building this app and the recipes and the cinematic presentation. Loveeeeeeee everything about you guys!

Recipe comment: I needed the soup to have a little sweetness and acidity. Was gonna sprinkle in some sugar and vinegar, but opted for a tomato instead (I don’t really know how to cook. Sorry if this sounds gross to anyone! Lol). I don’t have Bay leaf either, so I drop in fresh basil. Turns out really yummy!!

Thank you so much for the love and support, Ja 🥹❤️ this comment was such a lovely start to our day! Also love how you made the recipe your own with tomato and basil - such a smart way to add sweetness and acidity. Can't wait for more nourishing adventures together ✨

This was so simple to put together. I used a coarse grain dijion mustard; the taste was so comforting! I had the soup with some crusty bread with olives and felt like I was at a café for lunch. Great recipe!

We're smiling from ear to ear reading this, Linda, thanks for the love! 💛

A nice simple leek and potato soup, was perfect for lunch on a cold day, very tasty and easy to make :)

Ce commentaire est une note de moi à moi même et ne reflète en aucun cas la qualité des recettes de PUL. Cela me permet de savoir ce que j'ai testé et ce que je veux refaire ou non et en quelle circonstance.
J'ai été déçu. C'est la soupe d'hiver classique, très peu de goût voir déprimante. J'ai ajouté une cuillère à soupe de moutarde par assiette de soupe pour que cela sorte de l'ordinaire. Par contre les croûtons sont délicieux. Ils ont donné un peu de personnalité à la soupe.

Hey Marguerite, thanks for sharing your experience with the soup. You mentioned the rating was more a "note-to-self" and in case you're interested, you can add private personal notes on the app under the "directions" tab of a recipe 🤗

Otherwise, to troubleshoot the soup's lack of flavour in case it helps next time, you could also try increasing the amount of garlic or adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for more depth. If you're not a fan of the Dijon mustard, experimenting with lemon juice or nutritional yeast could also add brightness or umami. Glad the croutons were a hit!

Thank you for this note PUL 🙏❤️

Wow - so fast, so good

I needed to use up some leeks and this recipe was perfect! Next time I will add some form of protein as well. But it tasted amazing 🤗

This was the first time I’ve ever liked leeks, and the family loved it. We’ll definitely have this again.

I was really curious about the mustard in a soup. I used Moutarde à l’ancienne instead of Dijon and it was so good I made more of it the next day! I love this soup. Thank you PUL team

So happy to hear you're enjoying the soup, Andi!

Such a great soup!

The dijon mustard definitely adds a kick to the standard leek and potato soup, love this recipe ☺️

Yummy!

Just made an ate this soup, it is simply divine! So much flavor everything just compliments each other. I have absolutely never had anything go wrong with one of Pick Up Limes recipes! They are the absolute best even if you aren’t plant-based or vegan you can make these recipes and add your ownstuff, which is what my daughter does lol I did end up adding asparagus and green peas for protein.

PUL Team - Feb. 9, 2024, 1:04 a.m.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the soup and appreciate your support, Kortney. It's great to hear the personalized recipe with asparagus and green peas too 🤩

This was so warming and creamy. Perfect for a winters day.

I always have to double up on your soup recipes because my family just can’t get enough! So warm, creamy and filling, and the Dijon mustard gives it a nice kick!

PUL Team - Jan. 17, 2024, 9:03 p.m.

Aww so glad that the soup recipes are being enjoyed, Honor!

So tasty and filling! Also super quick and easy to make, love it!

I'm not vegan, but I have always loved watching PUL throughout the years. I've been slowly transitioning to more plant based menus. I added cream of mushroom and didn't have djion mustard, so I used normal mustard instead. Was absolutely delicious still.

Thanks for welcoming us into your kitchen and culinary journey, Des 🤗

Loved the soup. Thank you for all your recipes I haven’t found one I didn’t like. And I tell everybody about your app and your videos. Thank you.

Officially one of my favorite soups, it will make your home smell amazing too! Definitely would recommend making the croutons with it!

PUL Team - Jan. 6, 2024, 8:53 p.m.

So happy that you're enjoying the soup, Shayda!

It was delicious. 🥰

Delicious. I had some really strong Dijon mustard, so I used only two spoons, and it was more than enough, so you might be a bit careful with this ingredient. Other than that, no notes.

This soup is incredibly good !
I made it with a special dijon mutard honey flavored (but I will try it with a little agave sirup next time ;)

Sorry, forgot the rating 🙃

Made this last night,perfect for a freezing December night! I was a bit sceptical about the mustard, but really enjoyed it. I think this might become my new go-to potato soup. Only change I made was to add a medium finely grated potato after I pureed the soup and let everything come to a boil for a couple minutes again. It's something my mum taught me and I always do this for potato soup. Those tiny potato shreds/"noodles" have a really interesting texture and make the soup so much fun to eat! Thanks for another great simple recipe!

PUL Team - Dec. 3, 2023, 11:42 p.m.

Ooo the potato shreds sound like a lovely addition, Sanna! Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the soup 🤗

Oh my goodness! So delicious 😍 very easy recipe, quick and simple to follow and put together.

Oh my! So delicious! We usually enjoy a recipe with herb de provence, so this was a delicious change. I made this because we really like dijon mustard. I added spinach at the end.

I enjoyed this soup but I think I would use less mustard in future attempts.

Be ware not to add too much mustard after you read “more to taste” 😂
Its really delicious either way :D

Just made it - first recipe! Came out really good. Fantastic when served with olive oil. I also had celery to use up. Next time, I'd bulk up with some protein, maybe butter beans or tofu like suggested below.

This was deeelicious😍 I blended half of the batch to a purée and kept the rest as it was for some ~texture variation~. Also added in some extras! Added some frozen spinach, cashew nuts & some plant milk for extra creamyness, chili flakes for spice, and a block of crumbled tofu for extra protein. (Thanks for the tip)!! 🤩🤌🏼

PUL Team - Sept. 14, 2023, 12:05 a.m.

Yayy we're so thrilled the soup was enjoyed, Nova, thank you! 😃

Hii! Thinking of making this this week. What would you recommend to add to it as a sourcw of protein that goes well with the other flavors? ❤️

PUL Team - Sept. 11, 2023, 3:18 a.m.

Hey Nova! Adding tofu or tempeh can be an excellent source of protein that pairs well with the flavours in this recipe. You can marinate and pan-fry them for a crispy texture or simply crumble them into the soup for added protein. Alternatively, you could also top the soup with roasted nuts or seeds. Enjoy 😊

Nova - Sept. 11, 2023, 6:55 p.m.

Thank you!! 🥰

Great soup! Used yellow mustard instead of Dijon and was still amazing!!! Pairs perfectly with some garlic bread.

Delicious! I didn’t blend it to a purée and enjoyed all the structures and mustard seeds popping up here and there :) It was also nice to have a recipe of homemade croutons nearby. Thanks a lot!

PUL Team - Aug. 26, 2023, 2:47 a.m.

So happy to hear, Valeria, thanks a bunch 🤩

No leftovers, far too yummy 😋

Will make again. Thank you 🥰🙏🥰

Good flavour and taste.

Super tasty! I used a little more vegetable stock and added some chilli flakes at the end. My recommendation: do not omit the mustard at all. It gives it that special kick. Thank you for this great recipe.

PUL Team - Aug. 9, 2023, 12:51 a.m.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the soup, Yvonne 😊

I used this recipe as a base to use some leftover veggies (leek, celery, zucchini and potatoes), followed the recipe otherwise and it is delicious, the mustard adds a special something. Really yummy.

PUL Team - July 30, 2023, 8:55 p.m.

Yayy so happy it was enjoyed, Alejandra, thank you 😃

Really simple and easy! I only had one leak so substituted half a yellow onion for the other leak, added a little lemon juice at the end for some acidity, added more salt and pepper. Tasted great. Definitely think it needed the acid at the end though.

PUL Team - July 14, 2023, 7:42 p.m.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with it, Lindsay! ✨

This soup was absolutely delicious. The whole family loved it.

Love this soup. Second time I’ve made it. I used whole grain mustard because that’s what I had, and it’s still yummy.

PUL Team - April 1, 2023, 5:17 p.m.

Mmm sounds lovely, Lee, thank you!
