LAY HO MA everyone! There’s nothing better than a delightful soup and salad for lunch or dinner. Best part is, you can make both at the same time all from scratch. Join me in this episode and learn how to make a vegan potato leek soup with a crunchy fennel pear salad. Let’s begin.
Ingredients:
POTATO LEEK SOUP:
4 cups vegetable stock

3 small potatoes
2-3 pieces of garlic

1 pear
1 cup baby kale
VINEGARETTE DRESSING:
1 tsp salt
Pepper
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp fennel trimmings (chopped)
Directions:
1. Start by slicing the leek a third of the way on both sides and wash the layers under the water
2. Chop the leek, potatoes, and crush the garlic

7. Add the vegetable stock (season if using unsalted stock)
8. Bring to a boil, then turn down to medium and simmer for 10-15min
9. Meanwhile, start making the salad by removing the core of the fennel and slice 1/2 the bulb thinly
10. Chop and slice thinly the brussel sprouts and pear
11. Combine the fennel, pear, brussel sprouts, and baby kale in a large mixing bowl
12. When the potatoes in the soup are fork tender, save a few cubes for garnish
13. Transfer the soup to the blender and bend on high
14. In a mason jar, add the dressing ingredients and shake to combine
15. Pour the dressing on the salad and toss to combine
