I washed the leeks and sliced the useable parts in 1/4" slices. I froze
some of them in small freezer bags in the portions I needed for a favorite
soup recipe. Froze a large quantity of the slices in a single, large
freezer bag, which is at hand in the upstairs freezer so that I can dump out
a handful here and there for use in cooking.
The "non-useable", dark green and root ends went into the "soup bag"-- a
heavy duty freezer bag that lives in my freezer and gets things for the
stock pot-- onion ends, leek tops, mushroom stems, etc. Everything that's
not good enough to go into the regular recipe but too good for the compost
pile! I make homemade soup stocks every week or two, and my bag o'goodies
always plays a key role.
