We've swapped beef broth for chicken broth and onions for tender leeks but kept all the flavour in this lighter version of classic French onion soup. When you get home, just toast the baguette, broil the cheese and enjoy!

The mild flavour of halibut is always a hit with little ones. The sweetness of the leeks mellows the broccoli's bitterness for a combination great for the whole family.
The subtle, earthy flavours of leeks and shiitake mushrooms naturally complement chicken. Serve this easy entertaining dish with mashed potatoes or rice. If you're not cooking with wine, replace it with chicken stock, adding 2 tsp (10 mL) white wine vinegar.
There is no flavour combination quite like that of earthy mushrooms, tangy cheese and sweet leeks. This savoury tart is a natural make-ahead option for an effortless brunch, but it's so versatile that you can also serve it for lunch or dinner with a nice crisp white wine and mixed tender greens.
A touch of honey and orange juice mellows the sharpness of the endives and entices even the pickiest eater to give this dish a try. If you can't fit it all on one baking sheet, spread it out between two, so everything has room to roast. To get some prep done in advance, halve and wash the leeks ahead of time.
Shortcuts - Heating purchased ready-to-use stock separately reduces time to bring soup to boil. - Packaged shredded cheese saves on preparation time. - Store-bought croutons eliminates making and baking them. - An immersion blender spares transferring hot liquid. - Bottled minced garlic saves time.
