Broccoli Leek Soup

Fall is quickly approaching in our neck of the woods, I mean leaves have been changing and falling for weeks - if not a month or so now. The temperature is chilling off, wind has a bite, the days growing shorter and the nights growing longer. The weather is just going south for winter.

Some days are just soup days. You know what I mean? Yesterday was one of those days. I woke up to thunder and rain and went to bed with rain and thunder.

I decided before I put my feet on the ground that I'd be making soup for supper. I had grabbed a nice big head of broccoli at the grocery store a few days ago for the sole purpose of souping (that's a word, right?) it.
