Tips:

- Add a touch of sweetness to the soup by using sweet leeks. You can also add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, if desired.
- For a more savory soup, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a bit of spice.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or thyme.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
