Leek Soup

This Soup happens to be one of our favourites at home. I like to have soup on the table for our dinners so I like experimenting with different vegetables so it doesn't get boring.

Leeks benefits are very similar to the benefits of onions and garlics, which make this soup enhance those benefits since those three are the main ingredients. All three vegetables are linked to having cancer and diabetes fighting properties. They also reduce the risk of heart diseases, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Leeks are a good source for Vitamin A and K, folic acid and magnesium. This Leeks soup is delicious, filling, healthy with just a few ingredients and is super easy to make. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do :)
