Mushroom leek soup is pure French elegance in a bowl. The subtle sweetness of slowly cooked leeks meets the earthy depth of mushrooms, creating a soup that's sophisticated enough for a dinner party yet simple enough for a weeknight.
Leeks have a gentler, more refined flavor than onions, which allows the mushrooms to really shine. A splash of white wine adds complexity, while cream brings everything together in silky harmony.

- Clean thoroughly: They hide sand
- Use white and light green: Parts only

- Soak and rinse: Multiple times
Wine Pairing

- Pinot Grigio
- Or vermouth
