Heat a skillet on medium and add butter. When butter has melted, add leeks, celery and garlic. Cook for 5-7 mins.
Meanwhile, in a stock pot, bring broth to a boil. Add spices, potatoes and veggies and boil for 20 mins.
Once the 20 minute boil is up, pull out the bay leaves, and combine and blend all ingredients in Vitamix or blender until everything's been fully blended. Note: If there is more liquid than will fit in the blender, put several batches in a blender/Vitamix until everything's been fully blended.
When blended soup is back in the pot, add the cream, stir and serve. Place a few torn celery leaves on top of each bowl for garnish.

An immersion blender may be used if preferred to keep everything in the soup pot while blending.

Use a spatula to scrape blended potato leek soup out of Vitamix and back into the soup pot.

Dairy Free! Not to state the obvious, but eliminate the cream and butter. Coconut milk is the perfect substitute for cream. As far as the butter goes, I would replace it with 2 T of either olive oil, coconut oil, or Earth Balance.

Vegan See above regarding the butter and cream. And make sure your vegetable base is vegan. I absolutely love this Better than Bouillon brand.

Bacon-Top Vitamix potato leak soup with bacon pieces or bits for added flavor.
Serve soup with celery leaves for garnish, and bread or break sticks on the side for dipping.
