Leeks have always been around but never truly considered for some reason. Probably because we don’t truly know how to cook them and to which preparations to add them, but they are not only delicious but packed with fantastic qualities.
From the onion family, leeks are long and green and full of layers. They have a milder and sweeter taste than onions, and the best part is they become nice and creamy when cooked (and this is what makes them so special and perfect for soups!). Leeks also contain a particularly mighty component called kaempferol, which is a super-powerful antioxidant that can help prevent heart disease and certain types of cancer. They also have the same antimicrobial characteristics as garlic.
If you haven’t included leeks as part of your weekly diet, we encourage you to!
If you’re team creamy soup (or creamy, chunky soup!), then we have an amazing tip for you. Once everything is cooked to the desired consistency, you can use an immersion blender to puree half of it (or two-thirds if you like it even creamier!). This means you don’t need to use any thickening agents or plant-based creams. Pretty amazing, right? This trick is the key secret to our favorite corn chowder!
