As I forked them out, I realised that there were a lot of reasonable leeks amongst them.
Quicker than the hand shears I had been using.
We also used vegetable stock, frozen garden peas, fresh chopped garden mint and black pepper. No salt, oil or butter.

A
year ago I sowed a row of leeks. I planted some of them
out later but two-thirds of the row got left.
To
speed up the process of chopping off roots and tops I used a large garden
knife of my dad's.
Barbara
and I set up a production line; peeling, rinsing and chopping them.
The
row of leeks, a little more than 2 feet long, converted into about 12
portions of leek and potato soup.
While
we were out buying plants at Armitages this morning we took a break for
a coffee and I did a quick Parker Reflex pen and waterbrush drawing of
the view over Shepley.
