This soup is a great way to use up leftover leeks. It's also a great soup to make ahead of time.

I didn't have any leeks, so I used green onions instead. The soup still turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but this soup was delicious! The leeks were cooked until they were soft and sweet, and the soup was perfectly seasoned. I'll definitely be making this again.
