Please feel free to read it, I think you could identify with my friend Sabrina and her experiences. It’s never to late to make small changes to eat healthy and wholesome. Nutrition is the key to a better and fulfilling life.

Back to the Leek and Potato Soup: It takes only 4 ingredients – you know what I’m talking about.

If you have followed Contentedness Cooking for a while, you may have noticed my Vegan Lentil Burgers in which the patties only made of four ingredients – or my 3 Ingredient Snack Balls.

These easy vegan recipes are so approachable and easy to make for everyone.

While the almond milk and potatoes add the right amount of creaminess and leek the richness to this Leek and Potato Soup recipe, the pear adds a fantastic hint of a lovely sweetness to this fall bowl of goodness.

If you leave out the optional  pecans (good fat) this recipe is nearly fat-free. It contains only almond milk – packed full of good nutritions and naturally low in calories and fat.

I hope you are excited about my Leek and Potato Soup. It’s fall so go and grab a bowl of this delicious and wonderful new easy fall recipe.
