Leek soup is a hearty dish with roots in European cuisine, particularly renowned in French cooking. Made primarily from leeks simmered with onions, garlic, potatoes, and vegetable or chicken stock, it offers a creamy texture, often enhanced with a splash of cream or olive oil for richness. Leeks, the star ingredient, are packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber, making this soup a nutritious option for immune support, digestion, and overall wellness. The addition of potatoes adds natural carbohydrates for energy, while garlic contributes antioxidants with potential anti-inflammatory benefits. While its creamy variations may include higher fat content, lighter recipes can easily be adjusted for calorie-conscious diets. Versatile and satisfying, leek soup is a nourishing way to enjoy seasonal produce and classic flavors.
