A shorter cooking time for the vegetables allows them to retain more of their individual flavors.
To get the leek greens sufficiently tender, stew separately 30-45 minutes before adding them to the soup.

Long cooking times will transfer all those flavors to the soup and the veggies will taste mostly the same.
