CHERVIL LEEK SOUP
I found this recipe on a Belgian website while I was looking to emulate my (Belgian) boyfriend's father's chervil soup. This soup came out lighter in color than his, more of a creamy green as opposed to dark green, but it is simple and delicate. I have a sneaking suspicion that he doesn't use leeks in his, but I think the leeks add a fuller dimension that I found really satisfying. We eat soup every day of the week with dinner, so it always gets made in big batches and served all week long. Light soups like this are nice for spring. Add little soup meatballs if you like (I do). Also, I used 2 leeks instead of 3 by accident and used a little more water than called for, and it still tasted really nice. I guess the most important thing is not to cook this soup too long because the delicate flavors will deteriorate if overdone.

Steps:
- Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Rinse well under cold running water to remove any grit. Thinly slice crosswise; set aside.
- Cut endives in half lengthwise, and cut out and discard the cores. Thinly slice crosswise; set aside.

LEEK SOUP
When leeks are perfect for picking in my area, I start making this hearty leek soup. We pick as many wild leeks as we can find, and I freeze what we don't use immediately to try and stretch the season. -Cecilia Chynoweth, Hamilton, Ontario

LEEK SOUP
Posted for Zaar World Tour 2006 from An Exaltation Of Soups....This Tranitional Welsh leek broth is a wonderful way to start a feast on March 1, St. Tavy's day. It is guaranteed to strengthen the heart cords of anyone with Welsh blood, but watch out for the celebration: in Wales, to be "full of loudmouth soup" is to be "drunk as a lord."

LEEK AND CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP
This soup is a terrific choice for those over sixty, as it's abundant in nutrients one especially needs later in life. These include healthy plant protein (older adults are prone to protein insufficiency), fiber, vitamin K, potassium, lysine to aid in calcium absorption, and folate to help reduce homocysteine levels, which are a major risk factor for heart disease. And of course, all soups are soft and so are a favorite for anyone with dental difficulties.
