• 2 tbsp coconut oil

• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 2 pounds russet potatoes chopped
• 6 cups stock, vegetable or chicken
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 sprig thyme
• 1 cup coconut yogurt

Instructions

• Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a large pot.
  
• Add leeks, garlic, and onion. Stir while cooking until soft, about 5 minutes.
  
• Add potatoes, stock, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil then reduce to low heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
• Remove the bay leaf and thyme.
  
• Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. You can also blend in a regular blender.
  
• Mix in coconut yogurt and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  
• Simmer for 5 minutes before checking the seasoning and consistency.
  
• Adjust for the consistency you want - more water to thin out, more time to thicken.
