Hi, Cheryl,
Leeks have to be cleaned thoroughly, so, cut off the leafy park and the
root. Run the trimmed leeks under cold water, making sure there is no sand
in them. Then, slice thin, and sauté in butter or olive oil. They are good
with onions, in a leek and potato soup, or any other vegetable soup.
You can also make a nice cream of broccoli soup by sautéing them with
onions, adding chicken broth, then cook some broccoli in this mixture. When
it is done, make a roux with flour and butter, add milk to make a white
sauce. Add this to the broccoli mixture and puree in a blender. It makes a
lovely soup.
Hope this helps.
Alice
