How To Make leek soup

  • Step 1
    Cut away the dark green leaves an inch or so above the white part of the leeks. Cut leeks into ¼" - ½" slices. Put these into a large bowl of water. Separate leek slices and swish to remove dirt and sand. Drain.
  • Step 2
    In a large saucepan, brown ground beef in olive oil. Add leeks, frying for several minutes. Add beef broth and mushrooms. Simmer, covered for 15 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Remove from heat. Add cream cheese, stirring to melt. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
