1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper

8 cups water

2 cubes vegetable bouillon
Directions
1
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or soup kettle over medium-low heat. Add leeks, celery, onions, fennel, potatoes, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until onions are translucent and vegetables have begun to soften, about 10 minutes.
