Learn about LeeksA member of the onion family, leeks resemble oversize green onions, with wide green leaves, a fat white stalk and roots at the bulb end. Yet, the flavor of leeks is very subtle. Buy leeks with crisp, brightly colored leaves and an unblemished white stalk. Leeks that are larger than 1-1/2 inches in diameter will be less tender. Refrigerate leeks in a plastic bag for up to 5 days. Before using, cut off the roots. Trim the tough leaf ends. Slit the leek from end to end and wash thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt trapped between the leaf layers. Chop or slice the white portion to use in a variety of recipes.

This recipe is so simple and has a great flavor. The chicken is very tender. I didn't have parsnips and used all carrots instead. I mixed the mustard, spices and 1 tsp. garlic powder into the soup before adding it to the rest, the second time I made it. I preferred it to making the gravy later.

Always looking for ways to cook chicken which I usually find bland and boring unless it is spiced up and this recipe certainly fitted the bill - excellent a definite family favourite. Didn't change a thing and it was great.

I made this last night and my entire family loved it! As for what I did differently, not much! I did use only potatoes and carrots (quite a few of both) and I would have added baby onions if I could have found frozen ones (will look for next time.) I also made my own "Condensed Cream of" soup as my entire family are gluten free. (For those of you who don't know, this is the EASIEST thing to make. In a 2cup liquid measuring cup put 1 cup milk, 2 tbsps cornstarch, 2 tsps chicken boullion, and 1/4 tsp salt. For the herbed version I added 1/4 tsp garlic powder, sage, and seasoning salt (rather than plain salt). Microwave for 1 minute...stir. Microwave for another minute...stir. Repeat if needed. For Cream of Mushroom soup I add after cooking a 4oz can of mushroom pieces that I've drained and minced in a mini food processor. There are more variations as well, but the mushroom one is a staple here. This always works perfectly!)

This was wonderful! I added a couple of things - two stalks of celery cut up, sprinkled garlic powder, salt and pepper on veg and then on chicken and also sprinkled dried rosemary on the chicken. Will definitely make again - my husband loved it!

Just delicious. I didn't use any veggies, but put four boneless skinless chicken breasts in my crockpot, covered with the sauce ingredients (I didn't have the soup with herbs, so added a clove of garlic). It was done in 3-1/2 hours to tender perfection. Served with sauteed swiss chard and mashed butternut squash on the side. Yummy!
