COCK-LEEKIE-SOUP
1 whole chicken or 4 large bone-in joints
1 Large onion, chopped small
12 large leeks, washed and chopped
Black pepper
2 large sprigs rosemary
Spray of olive oil
2 pints water
1 bay leaf
Sweat the onion in a large pan, spraying a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking, when soft add water, black pepper, rosemary and the chicken. Bring to the boil and simmer for ¾ hour. Remove the chicken, and set to cool. Strain the liquid, add the washed and chopped leaks (white and green), bring to the boil, and simmer until the leeks are very soft. Use a stick blender to puree the mixture, taste for seasoning. Take the meat from the chicken and cube; add the chicken cubes to the soup. Makes about 6 servings.
