Mexican Leek Soup image

This soup is so satisfying. You can substitute other beans, use kale instead of spinach or add leftover corn. For brunch, I add a fried egg on top. For dinner, my husband adds lots of hot sauce! -Donna Ahnert, Scotia, New York

I added a few extra serrano peppers to my soup because I like it spicy. It was the perfect amount of heat.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover leeks. I usually have a bunch of leeks in my fridge, and I'm always looking for new ways to use them. This soup is a delicious and easy way to do that.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The soup is delicious! The leeks are cooked until they're soft and sweet, and the serrano peppers add a nice spicy kick. I will definitely be making this
