In answer to a question elsewhere, it's a question of chucking in whatever appeals to you - but start with http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/leekpotatoandbaconso_3682.shtml
What I can never understand is the American idiom, in recipes, of a bunch of leeks. That would be a couple of pounds over here??
Yum, this was my dinner last night - oh and probably my lunch for the rest of the week as I like to make enough to feed a small town! ;D Surprisingly, my recipe is very English and has items such as '3 leeks' and 1lb of potatoes. Just what is needed with the cold wind at the moment :)
Ahh Wardy, sound just like me. I find that every road leads to a pub - or a drink of some kind ;D
Just the sort of recipes we need at the moment. It is a dark dank day here in Whitley Bay. Leek and potato soup would really fit the bill, lovely warm and comforting food. :P Thanks Tim, :) busy_lizzie
I was making soup last night and I burned the onions. Drat! Oh well it was just a bit browner than it should be but it tasted ok :)
Now Wardy, was that before or after the pub ;)
I always say, just caramelised, Wardy. :D I do that a lot with carrots. busy_lizzie
Tim, thanks for the link, just what I was looking for!
This is my all time favourite soup ...

Just converted 2 pints of chicken stock, assorted home grown leeks, spuds etc into a huge bowl full....cheers again Tim! ;D
