2 Lbs leeks
8 Cups water
Preparation:
Clean the leeks and rinse well to get rid of sand and soil. Cut off the ends of the dark green parts, leaving all the white parts plus a suggestion of pale green. (Reserve the extra greens for soup stock.).
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Put the leeks in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes.
Pour off the liquid and reserve. Place the leeks in a bowl to be eaten separately, drizzled with a little olive oil and salt and pepper.
