WINNING CREAM OF LEEK SOUP
I got this recipe from an old family friend, who gave me my first batch of leeks, too! This soup quickly became our family favorite. I enjoy making hearty dishes like this one-and I especially like cooking with pork when I can...my husband and I raise hogs.

CREAM OF LEEK SOUP
This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains no actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

POTATO LEEK SOUP (NO MILK OR CREAM)
This soup does not have cream or milk in it like many of the ones I have seen. I got it off the internet many years ago. The recipe is credited to the Dinner Co-op. And very simple to make. I think it could also easily be converted to a slow cooker recipe. I usually double the recipe when I make it.

CREAM OF LEEK SOUP WITH ONIONS
Despite all of the onions, this soup is very mild, and sort of sweet, because of the leeks. The smoked gouda cheese is optional (I've already skipped it totally because I had none, or used sharp cheddar or Swiss instead), but the smokey flavor of the cheese goes well with the sweetness of the leeks.

- Add the bouillion cubes to the soup and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile to the same skillet, saute the chicken strips for 5 minutes in the same fat used to saute the vegetables until just a smidgen before they are cooked through (if necessary add a couple of tablespoons more of butte prior to sauteing the chicken, to prevent it from sticking to the pan). Remove the skillet from the heat and add the ham. Mix well and set aside until ready to use.
- When the soup is cooked, add the cream or half and half, chicken and the ham. Season with salt and pepper, and nutmeg. Heat thoroughly, being careful not to let it come to a boil so as to prevent cream from curdeling. Add the lemon juice to taste, being careful not to over-do so as not to overpower the soup with too much acidity. Garnish with chives or scallions. Serve hot.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER AND LEEK SOUP
We love these warm cream soups during the winter, they are definitely a comfort food. I didn't want to use potatoes in my soup due to the starchy content, so thought I'd come up with a soup that uses a different vegetable that is often substituted for potato in raw recipes. This soup is very tasty and would go great with a piece of home made bread or crackers.

SPINACH-LEEK CREAM SOUP
I love spinach cream and this recipe has leek in it. From Ricardo. ETA : I made it on August 27, 2011. I didn't use celery salt. I used a bag of near 170 g of spinach. After I pureed it, I tasted it and liked it that way without anything else. My son that is very picky liked this soup. I was kind of surprised. After he tasted it, he wanted a bowl.
