Potato Leek and Broccoli Soup

This Healthy Potato Leek and Broccoli Soup is another one of my favorites to make during the cold months.

I love pureed soups. I think the first time I ever had a pureed soup was at a quaint French restaurant in NC years and years ago. I felt a little fancy in the first place just being at the restaurant.  But add in having a pureed soup and it kind of stuck with me…. that it’s fancy. Go figure.

I simply added broccoli to one of my favorites, Potato and Leek Soup, to make healthier.

Grab a piece of fruit to go along with it for the perfect simple yet healthy lunch or dinner.
