Quick Leek Soup

Put soup into mouth hole. Nom nom nom.

Tweet

I love leeks.  They grow easily in the garden, and they’re super tasty grilled or shredded and steamed as a base for fish.  The only thing with leeks is that they don’t store well once harvested, and for as easily as they grow, you can end up with a lot of leeks just [...]
