    When the weather cools down, it's time to get the Thermomix buzzing with lots of healthy soups, comfort food dinners and flaky, crunchy pies!

    Just like my Roast Pumpkin Soup, Chicken, Corn & Noodle Soup and my hearty Carrot, Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Soup, this Thermomix Potato & Leek Soup ticks all the boxes for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.

    Why You're Going To Love This Thermomix Soup

    Thermomix Potato & Leek Soup is one of the most popular soup varieties.

    Here's why it's so loved:

    • 40 minute recipe - from start to finish, have dinner on the table in less than 40 minutes!
    • Healthy recipe - packed full of healthy vegetables, this is the perfect recipe for getting your veggie intake up over the winter months.
    • Hearty & filling - a bowl of Thermomix Potato and Leek Soup is so filling thanks to the potatoes! The creaminess gives the soup a comforting, silky finish.
    • Freezer-friendly - make a batch of potato & leek soup ahead of time and freeze for up to 3 months. Perfect for last-minute weeknight dinners or rainy weekend lunches.

    Equipment Required

    This entire recipe (minus the optional crispy bacon!) is prepared, cooked and pureed in the Thermomix - it really is the most amazing kitchen machine!

    This recipe is suitable for all Thermomix models - the TM31, TM5 and TM6.

    Please note that the TM31 bowl is smaller than the newer models and it's important never to exceed the MAX line.

    If you don't have a Thermomix, you can find my conventional Potato & Leek Soup recipe here.

    What You Need

    Make a trip to the vegetable section of the supermarket and stock up on lots of healthy winter vegetables!

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    The ingredients for a hearty winter soup.
    • Leeks - use the white and light green parts of leeks (which is often referred to as the stalk or the stem).
    • Brown onion - use a medium to large regular brown onion (or a yellow onion).
    • Butter & oil - this is used to saute the leeks, onion and garlic and give the soup a luscious, rich flavour.
    • Garlic - use store-bought minced garlic or fresh cloves of garlic.
    • Potatoes - choose Yukon Gold, Russet, white or brown potatoes for this recipe.
    • Liquid chicken stock - you can use either store-bought liquid chicken stock, or use homemade chicken stock concentrate mixed with 800g water.
    • Cream - use a cooking cream (like Bulla brand) which doesn't curdle when heated through.

    Step By Step Instructions

    My Thermomix Potato & Leek Soup recipe takes just 5 minutes active prep time... then let the Thermomix do it's thing!

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Chop The Leeks & Onion

    Place the halved onion and the roughly chopped leeks into the Thermomix bowl.

    Chop until finely grated.

    Cook for 20 minutes (with the MC removed) and with the splatter guard or rice basket in place to catch any splatters.

    Serving Suggestions

    Thermomix Potato & Leek Soup is absolutely delicious served on it's own... or you can take it to the next level with one of these delicious accompaniments:

    • Serve with crispy bacon sprinkled on top! Fry small pieces of streaky bacon in a frying pan until crispy.
    • Dip homemade soft and fluffy white rolls into your soup (and use them to wipe up any last bits of deliciousness in the bowl!).
    • Serve with some savoury ham and cheese or pizza scrolls.
    • Make a batch of bacon and cheese muffins or ham, cheese and corn savoury muffins for the perfect side to your creamy soup.

    FAQ's

    Can I make this recipe if I don't have a Thermomix?

    Yes, you can find my conventional method for Potato & Leek Soup here.

    Can I make a double batch of soup in my Thermomix?

    No. It's very important to never exceed the MAX line in your Thermomix, so it's not possible to make a double batch.

    Can I make this soup dairy free?

    Yes, simply omit the butter and increase the olive oil to 50g. Substitute the cooking cream for coconut cream (please note that this will alter the flavour). Alternatively, you can simply omit the cream, however, the soup will not have the same rich and silky texture.

    Expert Tips

    Making Potato & Leek Soup in a Thermomix machine is so easy!

    Here's my top tips...

    • Never exceed the MAX line - if you find that you are getting close to the MAX line, simply omit some of the liquid chicken stock.
    • Use the splatter guard or rice basket to avoid splatters when cooking - leave the MC off (measuring cup) and place the splatter guard (or use the rice basket in earlier models) over the top to prevent any splatters.
    • Allow the soup to cool slightly before pureeing - it can be dangerous to use the Thermomix at high speeds to puree while the soup is still hot. Allow it to cool slightly and then use the splatter guard/rice basket to prevent splatters.
    • Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Freeze the soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
