Our office was blessed (or cursed) with a TV and we were listening to the
Fox News ALL DAY LONG. Finally, we started flipping channels and saw, on
Oprah, that this French woman made leek soup to cleanse her body.

Not sure how accurate that is... but I went and bought a couple leeks.

Now, can someone tell me how to make this healthy leek soup?

Thanks in advance!

I'm even more interested in knowing how to get it through the hot
water heater and shower head.

I checked oprah.com but no recipe. The site says it is in the book
_French Women Don't Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano. I suspect the local
library would have a copy.

Ahh, but French women are gaining girth.

Must be great to be an author of a book with that title and have the news
trump you.

I think it will be a while until the French tops this!:
snip from the article:
"The average height of an American woman, for example, is 5 feet 4 inches,
and the average weight is 164.3 pounds, according to a study released in
2004 by the National Center for Health Statistics."
I wonder if that is really true.

Is this the same woman who claims French women have tricks to keep their
weight down... but forgot to mention she smokes near non stop too?

Don't know about *that* specific recipe but leeks are very good thinly
sliced and cooked in chicken stock, with or without potatoes, with or
without having the soup pureed with a stick blender. I've posted my
potato-leek soup before. I'll bet if you Google you'll find a ton of leek
soups out there.

sorta messy, but you just put a hole in the bowl
yuk yuk yuk

I saw that part! it looked really good. I've never eaten leeks, but I
really like thin broths and hard breads with them

im sure you just cuttem up and certainly don't over cook them.
maybe put throw a chicken broth cube thingy in there.

sounds yummy, i bet a little ginger root would color the flavor, but
not enough to actuallay taste the ginger.

had it last night in fact...

And Oprah let her get away with that? She needs to review Mae West
tapes.

I have found that a good soap and a loofa do a lot better cleansing
job.

If you want to make leek and potato soup, or vichyssoise, do it for the
wonderful taste, not for some phony baloney cleansing ritual. -aem
