I'm kind of proud of this, even though it's standard English fare, only because there is nothing else I've been able to do with leeks. Pan-frying them takes too long, and I don't really believe in casseroles. Goes well with a hard cheddar (I had mine with Dubliner, my favorite cheese).
Ingredients:
3 c stock (turkey stock, in my case. turkey forever.)
a bunch of water. Maybe 3 or 4 more cups.
1 celery stick
9 red creamer potatoes (double this, if you like a thick consistency)
1 whole leek, chopped into thin disks
1/4 onion
1/2 T bacon fat
dill
various herbs (sage, thyme)
Directions:
Boil the hell out of everything for a half hour or so, mashing it up the soup with your spat or slotted spoon now and then. You can probably puree it but I'm too lazy for that business, and besides, I like it a little chunky.
