Can I use frozen leeks for potato and leek soup?

[HerAvatar]

Just that really, don't usually make soup so no idea if frozen will be ok or not? Found an easy-looking recipe so thought I'd have a go and have a random (accidentally ordered frozen when I wanted fresh) bag in the freezer I want to use up It's the chunky sort of soup if that makes any difference, not the creamy, blended sort.

Yes of course.

Yes you can. Frozen leeks may lose a bit of their texture but that doesn't matter if you are making soup.

Lovely, thanks both, google wasn't helpful!

I don't see why not. No grit to worry about either!

You can use any vegetable frozen for soup or in a stew. (Except oven chips)

I bet oven chip soup would be delicious if you didn't know it was oven chips.

😁

You definitely can but be warned - frozen leeks tend to be heavier on the harder, harsher green bits than the soft sweet white bits.
