I usually chop these vegetables into ½ inch pieces. (If you’re unfamiliar with leeks or fennel I explain them in a recent post, California Roastin’.) I add the vegetables to a big pot filled with water, bouillion and the garlic. Bring it up to a boil with the lid on and then let it simmer with the lid off. Allow to simmer for about a half hour. When the veggies are soft (use a fork to test) then they are ready to be blended.
