Here's a Good One !! Tried and True - Can use whatever type flavored bullion
you choose- Create several different bases ( additions of liquid smoke, hot
sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic ) are just a few hints........


Vegetable Soup
(makes 6 servings)
*	1/2 pound (240 g) leeks, trimmed, split in half lengthwise and well
rinsed 
*	1 medium white onion, 5 ounces (150 g), chopped 
*	1/2 pound (240 g) carrots, peeled and thinly sliced on the diagonal 
*	2 large celery ribs, thinly sliced on the diagonal 
*	2 tablespoons (25 g) dried lentils 
*	2 tablespoons (25 g) dried split peas 
*	2 tablespoons (25 g) dried small white beans 
*	1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried parsley

	In a large soup pot, heat broth over medium-low heat. Thinly slice
cleaned leeks and add to pot along with the onion. Cook, stirring, until
