You know when a vegetable is at its absolute best, leeks right now are just awesome!
They are so crisp, they just snap if you try to bend them. They have a vibrant green colour, they're so so sweet and not a bit string.So I'm making my favourite leek soup. It's really quick, only takes 25 minutes from start to table, uses the whole leek and is healthy as!
