I was pleasantly surprised when I made this Coconut Curry Leek Soup Recipe because my kids begged me to pack it in their thermos for their school lunch. I kid you not – it made my heart sing. For me to make something so healthy and have them beg for it, I was almost wondered if I was on a hidden camera show or something.

Soup is one of my favorite things to make for dinner. Everything you could want in a healthy hearty meal comes in a single bowl and leftovers are a breeze. From Creamy Chicken Soup to Chicken Tortilla Soup and everything in between, what’s not to love?

How do you make coconut curry soup?

I pretty much use my Instant Pot for all recipes as of late, so I chose to make the soup in the Instant Pot.

This recipes really couldn’t be any easier. It starts by cooking the leeks on saute mode. Once they’re soft and golden, you’ll set them aside and saute up some garlic, carrot, and celery. Add the cooked leeks back in along with some chicken broth (or vegetable broth) along with some curry powder. You can choose to add salt and pepper at this point in the recipe or at the end so you can season to taste.

Pressure cook on high for only 8 minutes. Use an immersion blender or a countertop blender to make it smooth and then add the coconut milk. That’s it!

Coconut curry recipes:

I’ve made only a couple other coconut curry recipes in addition to this Coconut Curry Leek Soup. Now I’m on a mission to make more.

If you love healthy recipes that have the wonderful combination of coconut and curry, you’ll want to check out my super simple 3-ingredient recipe for Butternut Coconut Curry which combines fresh cut butternut squash with coconut milk and curry simmer sauce. This meal tastes great on it’s own or with the addition of cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and some cooked rice.

You will also enjoy my Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup. This is also a super healthy soup made with pumpkin puree. I went the extra mile and actually roasted and pureed a fresh pumpkin for this recipe.

If you’re a real big fan of curry, I also made a Carrot Curry Soup but didn’t add any coconut milk. Now that I look at that recipe, I think it would taste amazing with some added, though!
