Spring Lemon-y Leek Soup

1-pot soup packed with spring vegetables and leeks. Perfect to cozy up to when the weather turns brisk on spring evenings.

You guys, I can’t believe it’s May.

When did that happen?

The weather is warmer here, but sometimes the evenings still have a bit of nip to them.

I always attend spring evening events optimistically jacket-less, only to find myself shivering once the sun has gone down.

This Spring Lemony Leek Soup is perfect for such evenings when you want a little bit of comfort and warmth (or a jacket) until the sun comes up again.

Leeks and I had tempestuous beginnings that grew into an unshakeable love.

I can’t say I ever liked leeks.

This is probably because I never liked onions, but that’s a story for another post.

My parents used to serve a Potato Leek Soup for family lunches on the weekend.

I remember picking out all of the leeks, swirling my spoon around the bowl to avoid the ribbed white rings, collecting pockets of broth and potatoes instead.

At some point, I decided that hey, leeks aren’t so bad, and then I decided to make an entire pot of soup that featured them.

Crisp spring vegetables pair with soothing thyme and bright lemon to create a perfectly light and fresh flavor.

Prepping a pot of this Spring Lemony Leek Soup for the week is so easy and somehow it tastes even better day after day as the flavors meld together.

It’s magic!

What You Need to Make Spring Lemony Leek Soup

Here’s what you need:

  • leeks
  • asparagus
  • carrots
  • celery
  • mushrooms
  • veggie broth
  • garlic powder
  • thyme
  • dry white wine
  • cannellini beans
  • lemon
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • Black pepper

That’s it!

How to Make Spring Lemony Leek Soup

Slice the white and light green parts of the leek into 1/2″ rings and rinse thoroughly.

Heat ¼ cup of the veggie broth in a large pot over medium heat.

Once the broth is warm, add the leeks and a pinch of Himalayan sea salt and black pepper.

Stir and cook until the leeks begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes, then add in the asparagus, carrots, celery, and mushrooms and stir to combine.

Add the garlic powder and continue cooking for a minute.

Stir in the white wine (optional), vegetable broth, and thyme.

Bring mixture to a low boil over medium-high heat and then lower heat to medium-low and simmer.

Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are fork tender.

Add the cannellini beans within the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Add the salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately with freshly squeezed lemon.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week and reheat before serving.

How to Serve Spring Lemony Leek Soup

Enjoy this soup as an easy spring lunch or dinner or as a hearty side.

If you don’t like some of the vegetables in the recipe, feel free to mix it up.

I chose asparagus, carrots, mushrooms, and celery as my spring veggie roundup.

I think snap peas, broccolini, or radishes would pair nicely here as well.

If you don’t have cannellini beans, try adding any other white bean varietal, or chickpeas, for protein.

I like to serve mine with an extra squeeze of lemon to make the spring flavors even brighter!

Enjoy!

    Me and my partner loved this soup! Subed asparagus for broccoli as it was in season. One of the nicest soups I have ever had, the white wine adds such depth. Absolutely delicious!

      Forgot to mention I also added a potato. I think this really worked with the soup to make it more hearty and filling 😋😋

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
