To prepare leeks, cut off root end and tough green
tops about 3-4 inches above white part of leek. Cut
in half lengthwise and rinse under running water to
remove sand. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. In a large
saucepan, melt butter. Add leeks, potatoes, carrots
and onions. Cook slowly until soft, about 8-10
minutes, stirring often. Add broth. Cover and bring to
a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are
tender, about 25 minutes. Add the milk gradually and
heat gently but do not boil. Stir in parsley, salt
and pepper to taste. "Military Lifestyles Four Seasons
