This is the easiest and quickest soup in our playbook, and since it only requires three ingredients, it comes in handy when the fridge is bare and your little ones refuse to eat their usual fare. Who can resist a bowl with grilled cheese, especially when you cut the sandwich into croutons to float in the soup.

Yield: 3 servings

In a large sauté pan on medium heat, add butter. When foam has subsided, add leeks and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
