For anyone who loves a good soup, this one triples down on the sweetness of the allium family, gently cooking onions, leeks, and shallots until soft before puréeing part of the pot for a silky body. Simmered without heavy stock, it lets the vegetables' natural flavour shine. Ladled over garlic-rubbed sourdough toast and scattered with chives, it's comfort in a bowl.
