Roasted Garlic and Leek Soup image

Lets talk comfort food! I'd even make this for Valentines day If you and your Loved One loves garlic you can't go wrong! Roasting the garlic make it so smooth and yummy. Roast an extra bulb of garlic to serve with a crisp French bread. Roasting garlic mellows and sweetens the garlic.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this soup. The roasted garlic mellowed out the leeks and made them very palatable.
