Leeks and Greens Soup
Loaded with vibrant leafy greens, this soup, made with the help of Anyday cookware, promises to invigorate both your taste buds and your well-being. We've skillfully combined spinach with leeks, a milder and sweeter relative of the onion, and added a touch of zesty lemon for a burst of freshness. Whether you savor it hot or chilled, this soup is a year-round delight.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work—, and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
