Creamy Potato Leek Soup Without the Cream

There's nothing like spooning into a creamy bowl of steamy soup, but you can do without the butter and cream and go for this velvety version instead. It's totally dairy free but exceptionally smooth thanks to the puréed potatoes and beans.

Each satisfying bowl is around 250 calories and offers 8.6 grams of fiber and almost 11 grams of protein. It's a quick vegetarian meal and stores well in the freezer.
