About
This soup has been an old standby for years. I've been making it for so long by rote feeling that writing it down is sort of difficult. What I particularly like about it is the garlic. Sometimes I roast the garlic earlier in the day. Other times I just sauté it a bit before sautéing the leeks. What's most important is the amount of garlic. I prefer to use an entire head of garlic for 4 large/6 small servings of soup.
