A quick, easy and flavorful soup or stew, February 3, 2006 - 07:58 PM
Reviewer: Ross from Seattle, WA
Not the traditional Cockaleekie, however it is easier and quicker to prepare. Be sure to cut the green of the leeks very fine, perhaps like shredded. I found that not including breast meat made the texture and flavor more like the traditional method of preparation. I have also served it with a side of prunes with pits (people realize pits are there this way) to make it more traditional.
