Learn to love leeks with each spoonful of this belly-warming soup!

Of all of the vegetables in the garden, there’s a reason I chose to feature leeks in this recipe; they’re delicious when used correctly and offer a host of benefits to your digestive system.

Roasted Cauliflower and Leeks

Resembling an oversized scallion or green onion, leeks are an incredible source of soluble dietary fiber which, when consumed, feeds the good bacteria in your gut. This good bacteria then helps reduce inflammation and supports overall digestive health! Pretty impressive for such a simple vegetable, right?

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
