Almond Leek Soup

I wasn't excited about trying this when I made it, but it was so good! It's a Vitamix recipe, so you may have to do more chopping so a regular blender supports it.

Simmer 6 cups vegetable broth and 1 cup blanched almonds for 30 minutes.
Saute 1 chopped leek (white part only) and 2 cups chopped celery until the leeks caramelize.

Add sauteed vegetables to the broth and simmer 5-10 minutes
Salt & Pepper to taste

Pour mixture into the vitamix. Start on Variable 1, gradually raise it to 10, then switch to high for 45 seconds.

Serve.
