Cookbook creator says: I use broccoli, and carrots. One cup of broth was not enough - it was way to thick so I added another cup of broth and some milk. Instead of a bottom crust, I put on a top crust using a Pillsbury pie crust. It was great - everyone loved it. Great flavor. Use onion instead of leeks
