In reply to Alice. I'd would sauté them first.

I’m making split pea soup and I wanted to use leeks instead of green onions or white onions. Do I need to sauté them before adding them to the soup or can I just dump them in raw?

So happy to find this recipe! I’ve got leeks on hand because wanted to try cooking with them! Found your recipe online and realized I also have 1/2 bag frozen broccoli and 8 oz of broccolini. Putting it all in a crockpot (I did saute’ all the veggies!) to keep warm while my husband and I go on a bike ride here in Springfield OR! Thanks to all who gave extra tips here. Can’t wait to taste the finished product!

In reply to Jeanine Donofrio. So, do you prep the dark green bits for stock? Split, muddle, dice? Or just boil the crap out of them, remove and discard the roughage? Or even blend for a more hearty soup rich in fibre?

Thanks for these simple pointers.

I have 3 big leeks, a couple varieties of mushrooms, some 18 % cream, some butter, bone stock, sea salt and pepper. I almost wanna start now but it’s nearly 11pm… Bedtime, work and cook tomorrow. Is it possible to clean the leeks as 1″ thick coins to wrap with bacon and bake at 400 for 30 mins? (Pepper, chili, cumin or turmeric to taste.)

Thanks
