- When cleaning the leek, be sure to rinse it thoroughly to remove any dirt hidden between the layers.
- Cut all vegetables roughly the same size to ensure they cook evenly.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken gravy with vegetable broth.
- Add a handful of fresh herbs like parsley or dill at the end of cooking to add a fresh pop of flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup to your desired thickness.
- Season the soup generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables.
