INGREDIENTS : Leek 1 big stalk cleaned and chopped Broccoli florets about 1 cup Ginger 1 tsp grated Garlic 2 pods minced Vegetable stock 4 cups Butter 1 Tbsp Peppercorns 8 to 9 Salt to taste HOW TO MAKE : Melt butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add Garlic and Ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds. Now Add leeks and Broccoli florets and sauté until leeks are almost soft, reducing heat if needed to prevent rapid browning, 7 to 8 minutes. Add 4 cups vegetable broth (readily available) to pot; bring to boil. Cover; boil until vegetables are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Puree the soup in blender until smooth. Thin soup with more broth, if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Serve while hot with bread!
