We like to eat, drink and be merry during the holidays. We run here and there to see family and friends, stay up too late on Christmas Eve and have more than our share of frosted cookies. We’re human, too! But when January arrives, we’re always very ready to slow down, sleep more and eat better. This Chicken Soup recipe created by Jennifer Wright, our partner at b Well Kitchen, is the perfect food to heal our bodies and souls on cold winter nights when we’re dreaming of longer sunny days.
Ingredients

1 cup chopped leeks, white and light green parts only
