Ingredients

1 medium leek chopped
1 medium onion chopped
1 small shallot chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
6 medium potatoes chopped
9 cups veggie broth sub veggie bouillon 1 cup reserved
1/4 cup vegan butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp more to taste
1 cup vegan cheese optional

Instructions

Cut the leek, onion, shallot, garlic, and potatoes.
Add the leek, onion, shallot, and garlic to a pot over medium heat.
1 medium leek, 1 medium onion, 1 small shallot, 2 cloves garlic
Add in a small amount of veggie broth while sauteing to release the onion mixture from the bottom of the pot.
Season with salt and pepper
1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
Add the potatoes and veggie broth to the onion mixture. Reserve 1 cup of the veggie broth for later. Bring soup to a boil.
6 medium potatoes, 9 cups veggie broth
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Once the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour. Whisk until it forms a paste.
1/4 cup vegan butter, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Slowly add the reserved veggie broth to the butter and flour mixture. Whisk until it comes together. Allow to start to bubble, this will allow the rue to thicken.
Add the rue to the soup. Stir to fully combine. Add in the vegan cheese (if using). Allow the soup to come to a boil again. Cook for about 5 minutes.
1 cup vegan cheese

Notes

You can substitute veggie broth for veggie bouillon.

If you're gluten-free, sub the all-purpose flour for cornstarch. Instead of making a rue, you can omit the butter. Combine the reserved veggie broth and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk until fully combined and add that mixture to the soup. Allow the soup to come to a boil.
