For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of water and condensed broth. Be sure to thoroughly clean the leeks, as they tend to trap dirt between their layers. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of it before serving. A bay leaf added during the initial simmer can also enhance the depth of flavor.
