Leek and Potato Soup

Days are definitely getting colder here and my body is more and more craving warming food. This leek and potato soup is probably the one I love the most and it is so easy to prepare, as well as healthy and filling.

Although optional, you can also add some chickpeas to it, serving up plenty of fiber, good fat, and protein.
