Tonight I need to hydrate and get some fiber after a day of fasting. I wanted this soup to be light and simple as a starter. To make it thicker, just add a second leek or a large potato.

Steps

15 minutes

1

Trim the ends off the leek and keep the green part if it looks good.
2

Wash the leek thoroughly, then slice it into thin rounds.
3

Heat the olive oil in a tall saucepan over medium heat. I used a stockpot.
4

Add the leek, salt, pepper, and mixed herbs. Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
5

Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking.
6

When the leek is soft, add enough water to cover and add the bay leaf. (Tonight I forgot the bay leaf.)
7

Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
8

Remove the bay leaf, blend the soup, and serve.
