I stole the idea for this from “French Women Don’t Get Fat”, by Mirelle Guiliano, but modified it slightly.
Leek Soup Recipe
Ingredients (serves 2 as an appetizer)
- 1 large leek
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
- Clean the leek and cut in slices.
- Place sliced leeks in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil; simmer uncovered for 30 – 35 minutes.
- Serve with salt, pepper, and a bit of sprinkled Parmesan cheese (optional).
Delicious and healthy, this soup makes a wonderful appetizer 
It brings out some of the subtleties that can be lost in other leek soups that have more ingredients. Bobby even asked for seconds.

[...] I’ve been feeling very blah recently (eating crap at night is the culprit), so today for lunch I made a really fresh and clean soup to help scrub out my body and snap out of this funk. I hesitate to call this a “detox” soup because of the negative connotations that come with the word detox… but that’s what it is. It reminds me of the leek soup cleanse that is recommended in the book French Women Don’t Get Fat. (Here my own cleansing leek soup recipe.) [...]
looks good and so easy- will be trying this with the leeks in the fridge not necessarily for a cleansing but more so as an easy dinner option. Thank you!
