For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. To deepen the flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a bay leaf while the soup is simmering. For a richer flavor, try roasting the leeks with a little olive oil before adding them to the soup. This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavor will actually improve overnight! Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
