Low FODMAP Vegan Potato Leek Soup Ingredients + Tested Substitutions
- Potatoes. If you're following a low fodmap diet for SIBO, you may be asked to avoid potato. If that's the case, you can substitute some or all of the potato with parsnips and rutabaga.
- Leeks. If you're following a low fodmap diet, be sure to use only the green parts of the leeks.
- Veggie or bone broth. If you're not following a vegan diet, I recommend using a high quality or homemade bone broth in this low fodmap potato leek soup recipe for extra gut healing benefits.
- Spices. You'll need kosher salt, black pepper and paprika. You can feel free to add additional flavors like white pepper or garlic chive powder if you like.
- Milk. To make this vegan potato leek soup, almond or oat milk work best. If you are not vegan + tolerate lactose, feel free to use your favorite dairy milk of choice.
Slow Cooker Potato Leek Soup FAQs
How do I make this soup creamy?
Adding in the milk after it has finished cooking and then blending the potato leek soup with an immersion blender makes it so deliciously creamy!
What if I don't have an immersion blender?
If you do not have an immersion blender and don't plan to invest in this handy kitchen tool, you can simply use your standard blender. Be sure to allow the soup to cool to room temperature in order to do so. Blending hot liquids can result in the liquids exploding out of the blender.
How do I store potato leek soup?
Once blended, you can store this soup in an airtight container in the fridge up to 7 days, making it the perfect meal prep option.

I was a bit skeptical due to the fact that there were so few seasonings but holy cow this was delicious! My husband and even my picky daughter really enjoyed it! Definitely adding this into the rotation for next couple of months of my fodmap life. Thank you!

Yay I'm so glad you liked it! I did keep the seasonings light on this one to be a bit more tummy friendly but I think the leeks really do a good job of adding flavor!
