Pea, Leek And Broccoli Soup (High-Fiber)

We had this soup for dinner tonight along with fresh fruit and bread.  I
like the way the recipe writer gave an overview of the process at the
beginning of the directions.  I skipped the parsley and added Better than
Bouillon.  The recipe was originally posted on another list.
