And now, finally, I'm ready to discuss today. Today I'm making a flageolet bean and leek soup from Deborah Madison's really wonderful cookbook, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (thanks, Molly!). Flageloet beans can be hard to come by in the U.S., so try and remember to pick some up the next time you are in Canada. They have a nice mellow flavor, and the most beautiful light green color. A friend gave these to me, and I got the leeks from yesterday's farmer's market. I also made homemade basic veggie stock using the method in Madison's book. The soup is still simmering, so I can't tell you how it tastes yet, but it sure smells awfully good.
