We all think of “comfort food” as big bowls of cheese and chocolate that we eat when we’re consoling ourselves – a hard day at work, a heart-wrenching break-up. Sometimes, we need comfort food when, in the throes of winter, the wind chill forces the temperature below zero and the leftover holiday cheer is but a distant blip in the past. This potato leek soup inspired me to cook with leeks for the first time ever. What better meal for a cold night than a thick soup that tastes creamy, but without the calories? This guilt-free soup is great for lunches or paired with a simple green salad for a fast and healthy dinner. I topped mine with a little bit of parsley. I also omitted the hot sauce that the recipe called for, so the soup was a little bit bland but I like to doctor it up with a little bit of shredded cheddar or a dollop of light sour cream – the same way I might dress a baked potato.
