Leeks grow in abundance in the woods near my home. I love the mild aroma of the wild onions in the air after it rains. The best time I've found to harvest leeks in my area is early May (this will be different based on your region).
During the period when leeks are prime for picking, I like to substitute leeks with many of dish I would normally add onions. Leeks are especially wonderful in soups.

Hi Cindy! The soup looks delicious but as a vegan I was wondering if substituting veggie broth for the chicken broth would affect the finished product? I can't wait to try it!
Wonderful question, Barb. Vegetable broth is a delicious alternative and will compliment the wild onion (leeks), spinach and barley. Enjoy!
Yum! Can't wait to try this one. Thanks.
This looks fabulous, although I am with Barb and would substitute the chicken broth for veggie broth. I have used leeks in potato soup before but not with beans and spinach and I look forward to trying it! Thank you so much!
