Chicken and Leek Soup

 

I prepared this soup for dinner last week. According to Joseph, my husband, the celery is what made it extra delicious. Who knew?

I had actually never cooked with leeks before, but they are really good! This soup is a great way to enjoy all your green veggies in one bowl.
