Notes
- If you're following a low-carb way of eating, you may want to eliminate the carrots.
- To clean the leeks, cut off the dark green tough leaves. Next, cut a thin slice from the root and run the leeks under water to wash away all the soil from the inner layers. Finally, slice crossways up to the root end and discard the end.
- If you're not low-carb and you're in the mood for a heartier soup, you could also add some diced up Yukon Gold potatoes at the beginning of your cooking right along with the leeks. The starch will add more body to your soup. However, you would have to cook the potatoes in your stock mixture until tender for about fifteen minutes before adding the cod.
