Nutritional values

Leeks are a vegetable particularly rich in zinc and have other valuable ingredients to offer that support our immune defenses.

Instead of cream, the leek soup can simply be prepared with coconut milk. This not only gives the soup a light coconut note, but additionally transforms the dish into a vegan version. As a substitute for the Parmesan, you can sprinkle some yeast flakes over the soup.
