Recreate Remi’s iconic Ratatouille Soup from Pixar’s movie – the creamy potato leek soup Remy uses to save Linguini’s kitchen disaster at Gusteau’s. This authentic remake blends simple ingredients into restaurant-quality comfort food with vegan options and pro tips for perfect results every time.
2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for vegan)
1 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 cup leeks, cleaned and sliced (white parts only)
1 cup button or brown mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
3 cups potatoes (yellow or russet), diced
32 oz (4 cups) vegetable broth
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, sub broth)
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped + extra for garnish
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for vegan)
1/2 cup Gruyere or Parmesan, grated (nutritional yeast for vegan)
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
1. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat until frothy. Add onions, leeks, mushrooms, and garlic. Saute 5-7 minutes until onions turn translucent and mushrooms soften.
2. Toss in diced potatoes. Cook 5 minutes to brown edges lightly.
3. Pour in vegetable broth, wine (if using), and bay leaves. Bring to simmer. Cover and cook 15 minutes until potatoes tenderize.
4. Stir in thyme, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
5. Add cream and cheese. Stir gently over low heat 5 minutes until melted and thickened. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
6. Remove bay leaves. Blend half for creaminess (immersion blender ideal) or all for smooth texture. Stir well if it separates.
Prep: 15 mins. Cook: 40 mins. Total: 55 mins.
