These may be used in cooking to prepare soups and salads. They may be eaten raw or cooked.The lower leaf portion and bulb of one cup of raw leeks would provide the body with 54 calories, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein and 18 milligrams of sodium.Leeks and potatoes goes prefect for soup and this soup will be very tasty and creamy...This delicious soup goes to No Croutons Required -Potato Challenge, this month challenge is soup with potato or salad with potatoes, by Holler of Tinned Tomatoes, as this velouté de poireaux fits prefectly for french cuisine, this goes to AWED - French by DK...
