Leeks midwinter



I made a soup that called for some leeks a while back and I was so excited to finally be able to pull some leeks up from under a huge mound of snow! It's so gratifying to go out in the winter, and still be able to enjoy the harvest you were enjoying in the summer! Looking at the leeks, they looked sad and wilty, but once you pull them up from the ground, brush the snow off and strip off the outer leaves, there is a nice juicy leek that has been perfectly preserved under the ground.
