Leek Out!

What I am not burned out on is leeks. I went to the store the other day to get some chives to garnish a potato soup I was going to make and saw some gorgeous leeks that just called my name. I've never really cooked with them before, but love them whenever I have eaten them so I decided to try my hand at potato leek soup. Couldn't be that hard, right? It wasn't and the soup turned out so delicious that I doubt I'll ever make plain potato soup again. Unless, of course, someone dear to me requests it as such, but even then I might orate the niceties that leeks add to the soup.

So now, everywhere I look, there are recipes that include or highlight leeks. Granted, this could be due to them being in season, but seriously, they're everywhere right now. So you'll probably be hearing me wax poetic on the deliciousness of leeks in the coming weeks. I'm already planning on doctoring up a recipe for leek and white bean soup I came across...should morph nicely into a fantastic white chili...
