sprinkling of the cheeses, and topped with the chopped green onion. If desired, the bowls may be placed under a broiler or in a hot oven to melt the cheeses; if you do this, be sure to use ovenproof bowls.

*Leeks are grown in very sandy soil, and must be well cleaned, or the grit will ruin your soup. Trim the roots from the leeks, and then trim and discard the leaves, about 1 inch above the white. Wash well and dry. The leeks used in this recipe yielded about a 4-inch piece of leek. Not all leeks have the same amount of usable white, so you will have to adjust the number of leeks accordingly. The leek tops are too tough to use in cooking, but can be washed well and used to flavor stocks.
