For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
To add a touch of smoky indulgence, garnish with crumbled bacon or a swirl of cream.
A splash of white wine during the sautéing of the leeks can elevate the soup's complexity.
For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the milk.
