- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Prep your veggies: Start by peeling and dicing your potatoes, cleaning and slicing the leeks, and dicing your onion.
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and sliced leeks. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add potatoes and broth: Throw in the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
- Simmer away: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Blend it up: Use an immersion blender to purée the soup to your desired consistency.
- Stir in the cream: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, and sprinkle fresh chives on top.
