Easy and quick leek soup

A quick, easy and delicious leek soup for dinner? This recipe is a family favourite. Even my son, who hates onions, loves this soup.

Leeks have a mild onion flavour, keep well in the refrigerator, are easy to prepare and cook. You can find more information here about choosing, preparing, cutting, cleaning leeks.
