Ten Below + Leek Soup = Haiku #2

Not leaving the house today because it’s -10 outside, so I am going to stay in and keep things toasty by making soup. Leek soup. And a haiku to go with it, so it’s less of a cop-out.

Leapin’ leeks, Batman!
This soup is tasty, simple–
two versions, both good.

Leek Soup - w/ Chicken or Veggie variations:

Ingredients:

bunch of leeks (approx. 3 -4)

1 clove garlic, chopped (or more to taste)

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken, cubed (omit for vegetarian version)

64 oz. stock (chicken or vegetable, your choice)

approx 8-10 small redskin potatoes, washed/quartered.

2 ribs celery, sliced

2 medium carrots, sliced

olive oil, salt, pepper.

Clean leeks thoroughly by cutting in half lengthwise and rinsing in cold water to remove sand. Trim roots and tough green leaves. Chop cleaned leeks into 1″ pieces. Saute leeks and crushed garlic clove in olive oil until leeks are soft and white portions transparent. In separate pan, saute chicken until completely cooked. Add stock to cooked leeks, then chicken, and bring to a simmer. Add potatoes; cook until tender; add carrots and celery as soon as potatoes are done. Simmer for a few minutes more, then correct seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Eat up, be warm!
