15 Minute Cheesy Leek Soup From Heaven

I can guarrantee that this cheesy leek soup is the best you ever had. And it only takes fifteen minutes to make. Exactly the kind of recipe I city folk need. Who has time to spend hours in the kitchen, right?

The soup is so good, people literally devour it in seconds. My husband said this is the best dish I have ever made. (He is either right, or he can't remember any other dish I made in the past.)

How to make this cheesy goodness?

Ingredients

  • 1 leek (cut along the long side and then chopped into thin half circles)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3-4 Laughing Cow wedges (or 4-6 Mini Babybel cheeses)
  • vegetable bouillon
  • a splash of oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1-2 tea spoons of starch (or 2 tablespoons of flour) 
  • shaved parmesan or any other soup topping you like

Steps

  1. Saute onion and leek on a splash of oil and butter.
  2. Add bouillon, cheese, little bit of water, and stir until the cheese and bouillon melt.
  3. Add more water and bring to a boil. Cook for few more minutes (it's a quick soup).
  4. Before the soup is fully cooked, add starch (dissolve it in a splash of water first to avoid lumps). Boil for couple of more minutes until the starch thickens the soup into a desired consistency.
  5. Serve topped with shaved parmesan or croutons.

Enjoy!
