I'm not a big fan of leeks, but this soup changed my mind. The leeks add a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor that is really delicious.

This soup was delicious and so easy to make! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of garlic and thyme for extra flavor.
