How to Prepare Leeks


One of my favorite things to cook — and eat — when it's warm outside is vichyssoise soup. It's always served at the country club I grew up going to in the Summer, so it reminds me of the vacation! The potato and leek soup is also absolutely delicious. Potatos are a cinch to wash and slice up, but leeks require more preparation. So the first time I tried to make this soup, I had to do a little research about how to use this onion/garlic cousin. During a recent wave, I took some photos of the steps, so I could share them with you. Come learn how to prepare leeks, if you don't already know!

Anon 2 yea.... those are definitely scallions. Leeks are much much thicker.

I do the same thing except I clean mine in a salad spinner which makes it a little easier to get all of the water off of the links! Great photos and great tips!
