One time, I had no chicken stock, so I used miso paste dissolved in water. It was a disaster—like a leek soup that had an identity crisis. Stick to the recipe, friends. Mary knows best.
But, okay, one rebel move I do endorse: add a pinch of nutmeg at the end. It’s not in her original, but it gives the soup a warm, cozy hug vibe. If Mary catches me, I’ll say it was an accident. She’ll probably just sigh and hand me a wooden spoon.

The Leftover Transformation
This soup is the gift that keeps giving. Day two? It’s even better, as the flavors meld into a silly consensus. It also freezes like a champ—so make a double batch. Next week, when you’re too tired to cook, you’ll thank past you.
I sometimes pour leftover soup over pasta for a weird, creamy “leek and potato” alfredo. Don’t tell Mary. But if you try it, you might start a revolution.
