The Skyrim recipes includes leeks. They are from the onion family and give a subtle flavor to the soup.

1. Cut the beard and leafy stalks off of the leeks.
2. Cut into the leeks lengthwise, splitting them but not cutting them in half. Throughly wash the inside of the leeks in cold water, as they can collect dirt.
3. Dice the leeks after washing.
