  • 2 cups filtered water
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp. Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel all your vegetables before chopping. For the leeks, cut off the roots and dark green ends of the leeks. Slice you leek lengthwise, and then chop it finely about 1/2". Continuing chopping all potatoes and onions.
  • Heat 2 tbsp. of oil over low-medium heat in a thick bottom soup pot and add the onions, garlic and leeks, Cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender and translucent.
  • Increase the heat to medium and add the potatoes and fennel, stirring and cooking for another 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the water and broth and cook on medium heat for about 20-30 minutes until the potato’s are tender.
  • Turn the heat onto low, stir in the salt, pepper, garam masala and smoked paprika and allow simmering for 5 more minutes.
  • Using a blender, or an immersion blender, blend the soup until the soup is the consistency you like. If you want a chunkier soup you can omit this step or blend well for a creamier and smooth texture.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle the reserved 1 tsp. of garam masala on top and serve with a piece of crusty sourdough bread and enjoy!
