Note

If using dried tarragon, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon as it is more potent than fresh.

For a richer flavor, you can use reduced-sodium chicken broth and defat it before serving if desired.

Ensure leeks are thoroughly washed to remove any sand or dirt trapped between the layers.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

This dish pairs well with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
