✓ 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crushed
✓ 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
✓ 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
✓ 1 to 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
✓ 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot cook leeks, celery, carrots, and garlic over medium 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking.
