Back to the Leek and Potato Soup: It takes only 4 ingredients – you know what I’m talking about.

If you have followed Contentedness Cooking for a while, you may have noticed my Vegan Lentil Burgers in which the patties only made of four ingredients – or my 3 Ingredient Snack Balls.

These easy vegan recipes are so approachable and easy to make for everyone.

While the almond milk and potatoes add the right amount of creaminess and leek the richness to this Leek and Potato Soup recipe, the pear adds a fantastic hint of a lovely sweetness to this fall bowl of goodness.

If you leave out the optional  pecans (good fat) this recipe is nearly fat-free. It contains only almond milk – packed full of good nutritions and naturally low in calories and fat.

Could I make this soup by substituting regular milk instead of almond milk?

Such a beautiful soup Florian! Potato soups are my absolute favorite and I make them near weekly. I love that you added a pear, what a wonderful idea! And of course, topping them with pecans (my favorite nut) just sends this to soup perfection! Such beautiful, bright photos and I'm now craving this soup!
