Magical Leek Soup

Yesterday I decided to try the Magical Leek Soup (Broth) recipe from the book "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guiliano. Okay, I will admit that I actually bought the book (and I did read it) over two years ago, but I've always had the intention of trying to make this 'weekend' soup thing. One is supposed to make the soup, then drink the broth and eat the cooked leeks over a weekend...or 48 hours. It is supposed to be "an emergency weekend remedy"...guess it's supposed to cleanse and de-tox. Anyway, Hubby left for a business trip yesterday and will be gone for a couple of days so I saw my window of opportunity. I cut up the leeks, made the soup, and began the 'cleanse'. After 24hrs, the smell of leeks is oozing from my pores. Our place smells like a huge leek, and the result of imbibing leeks for a 24 hour period is a massive amount of, well, gas. My advice is to try this "Magical Leek Soup" when you're alone and/or with the windows open. (I will admit that the broth tastes better the day after it has been cooked). Good luck.
