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.

This looks really good. I will add this to my recipes to try board on Pinterest. We are vegetarian so we will try it with vegetable stock. Thank you!
