BISTRO ONION SOUP WITH LEEKS
This version of French Onion Soup is freshened by the green sweetness of leeks, and the slight heat of chili flakes. If the combination of caramelized onion, brandy and cheese doesn't chase away the blues on those lingering grey days then nothing will. From the LCBO magazine.

Steps:
- Heat butter in a soup pot with a wide bottom over medium heat. Add bacon and sauté for 3 minutes or until bacon is cooked but not crisp. Add sliced onion, shallots and chili flakes and sauté for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until onions are golden.
- Add leeks and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes or until leeks are very soft. Add wine, bring to a boil and simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits, until onions are just saucy, about 3 minutes.
- Add chicken stock, bring to a boil, then turn heat to medium-low and simmer until flavours have come together, about 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While soup is simmering, make large croutons. Heat broiler or grill to high. Brush both sides of baguette slices with olive oil and broil or grill for 1 minute per side or until golden.
- When you are ready to serve the soup, preheat broiler to high, and top each crouton with 1 tablespoon (25 mL) of grated cheese. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet, and broil for 1 minute, watching carefully, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Place soup in bowls, stir 1 tsp (5 mL) of brandy into each serving if desired, and top with a Gruyère baguette slice.
LEEK SOUP
When leeks are perfect for picking in my area, I start making this hearty leek soup. We pick as many wild leeks as we can find, and I freeze what we don't use immediately to try and stretch the season. -Cecilia Chynoweth, Hamilton, Ontario

CREAM OF LEEK SOUP WITH ONIONS
Despite all of the onions, this soup is very mild, and sort of sweet, because of the leeks. The smoked gouda cheese is optional (I've already skipped it totally because I had none, or used sharp cheddar or Swiss instead), but the smokey flavor of the cheese goes well with the sweetness of the leeks.

- Trim the leeks down to the tender white and green parts, slice them in half lengthwise, and let them sit in a bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes to let any residual grit float out of their layers and into the bottom of the bowl.
- Peel the onions, lop off the root and stem ends, then slice them in half lengthwise. Cut the onions into thin strips by slicing with the grain of the onion. I don't like overly long, stringy pieces of onion in my soup, so if I'm working with one particularly large onion, I'll often halve the strips again so they're no more than 3 inches long.
- Lift the leeks out of the cold water (don't pour them into a strainer; that'll just wash them with the grit you removed) and roughly chop them into 1/2-inch bits.
