2 tablespoons butter
3 leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced

1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
1 ½ cups thinly sliced carrots
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks and garlic in melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes.
