Soup-purees from broccoli begin to cook with the fact that they bake bread for toast. His pieces are cut into smaller ones, they are laid out on a pre-oiled baking sheet, a little oil (for example, olive oil) is added from above for the aroma. We mark 10 minutes and watch that the bread is lightly browned to an appetizing crispy crust of golden color.

While this part of the dish is being cooked, put the pan on the stove and add a little oil to it. There we spread the crushed leeks and stew the greens until it becomes soft. On average, this takes about 5 minutes. Now it was the turn of garlic. We add it to the onions and continue cooking for another half an hour.
