Scottish Leek and Potato Soup

A simple healthier Scottish leek and potato soup. Still as deliciously creamy and smooth tasting as the original but as it’s not made with butter or cream, it’s so much more healthier! 

Folks this is Scottish cookery at its very best.

Here, I’ve given a traditional Scottish soup recipe a healthy makeover. This is a healthy leek and potato soup.

More likely known to Scottish readers as “tattie and leek soup” or “leek and tattie soup” this version of Scottish leek and potato soup has an extra twist to it. Which is completely optional.

I like to add a little bit of mustard in at the very end. Just to add a really nice warming extra heat. Which on a cold winter’s day is very welcome!

Secondly this soup is completely suitable for lactose intolerant and vegan readers alike. It’s made with no butter or cream and its gluten free. So that also makes it a low fat leek and potato soup too!

Watch the 1 minute recipe video to see how I make this simple Scottish soup much healthier than the traditional recipe.

I just couldn’t go back to adding butter or cream to the recipe. Not now when you can clearly taste the delicious vegetables.

I’d recommend this soup as a lunch option with a couple of slices of wholemeal bread.

This is a low calorie, low fat leek and potato soup. So having bread with a soup that only has 156 calories per serving isn’t going to add to your waistline.

The bread helps to mop up any leftovers from your bowl. Leaving nothing to waste.

And if you enjoyed this leek potato soup be sure to try my leek sweet potato and rosemary soup!
