Leek, Potato and Broccoli Soup

You need to make this leek, potato and broccoli soup! It’s healthy comfort food at it’s best. The recipe is dairy and gluten free and if you leave off the bacon bits on top it’s vegan. I personally like to top mine with sour cream or greek yogurt and bacon bits. This soup smells wonderful when it’s cooking and tastes super homey! It is perfect for a chilly day!

If you have never cooked with leeks before they have the taste of a mild onion/green onion and give a slight garlic taste when cooked. They are perfect for soups! you just need to rinse them after slicing because little bits of dirt can get between the layers.
