How do you do leeks? This great dane of the onion family has a mild onion taste, and is used like a giant green onion. Both the white part and light green stem can be employed for a variety of cool weather comfort food, especially potato leek soup.

Friday the starwheel turns to fall. Temperatures are dropping and it's getting darker outside. Feeling like soup weather! Fortunately, you have a New England Pie pumpkin in your box and the recipe for the most delicious Pumpkin Chipotle Corn Chower to warm up those darkening days. Pumpkin Risotto is also a favorite fall comfort food, served alongside our favorite massaged Kale salad. Or you could make a pie with your pumpkin - nothing wrong with that!
