Healthy, because
Broccoli and leek are calcium-rich vegetables, which is why the daily requirement of this mineral is already covered by 25 percent. It is important for the growth and maintenance of bone density. Almost 100 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin C strengthens connective tissue and the body's defences.
Even smarter
If you prefer soup, simply cook the vegetables in twice the amount of broth. Calorie-wise this is hardly significant, but you have more to spoon.
