Ingredients
- 2 leeks, washed
- 2 tablespoons fat of choice
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds white sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon truffle salt
- 2 cups homemade beef bone broth
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- For serving: chopped green onion and sunflower seeds (omit seeds for AIP elimination phase)
Instructions
-
Chop both leeks and separate the white/light green and the green parts in two different bowls.
-
Heat your fat of choice in the Instant Pot insert using the “Saute” function. Add chopped white/light green leeks and yellow onion to the pot and stir to coat in the oil. Sautee for 10 minutes until lightly browned and tender.
-
Add sweet potatoes, truffle salt and the bone broth to the insert. Turn Saute function off, seal the lid, and turn the “Manual” cook time to 8 minutes.
-
Vent the lid immediately and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a high-powered blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec with the coconut milk and pureeing for at least 60 seconds until silky smooth. Taste and adjust sea salt.
-
Meanwhile, add 1 more tablespoon fat of choice and turn the Saute function back on. Saute green parts of chopped leek for 5 to 7 minutes until charred. Serve atop the soup with sunflower seeds, if desired.
