Soup Ingredients

Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Charcoal Oil

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and activated charcoal powder until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Char the Leeks

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise and brush with olive oil. Grill until charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Soup

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped charred leeks and diced potatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes, then add vegetable broth, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
