Ingredients

• 2 leeks, white parts only, split in half lengthwise, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1 large Yukon gold potato, diced
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained (or any other cooked canned bean)

Directions

1. Add mushrooms, broth, leeks, carrot, celery, potato, chickpeas, kale, and soy sauce to a large saucepan.
