I'm making a soup out of this and some potatoes, three cloves of garlic, and a whole onion.

I want to show you this leek, seriously. Remember, I told you this leek would make a whole pot of soup? To appreciate its size, look at it next to some common objects, like other vegetables, animals, and minerals:

The leek took up most of the pot (just that giant leek, not the little one), on top of an entire sweet yellow "candy" onion and three cloves of garlic. There was barely any room for potatoes, but I added four Russets and two Yukons. Still the soup is less potato-heavy than before and is more about leeks and garlic. There's a huge pot of it in the fridge, and I already had a bowl, with sourdough toast.
