Remove roots, outer leaves, and tops from leeks. Cut each in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/2\" slices. Immerse in cold water; swirl. Drain.
Bring broth to a boil in a large saucepan over medium high heat.
Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Add leek, onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Partially cover, and cook 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
