French women's leek soup
Adapted from Mireille Guiliano's French women don't get fat. Serve with (cheesy) sourdough toast if you're feeling adventurous, or afraid the soup might not satisfy you, though I'm pretty sure it will. Feel free to substitute mushrooms for cauliflower or iceberg lettuce leaves. You can also add other root vegetables to the mix. Frozen veges are great too.
