No leeks in America.

There's leeks!  I get them to make my favorite soup:

Ingredients:
2 lb. Boneless beef brisket
3/4 cup of dried, whole peas
1/4 cup of barley, well rinsed
4 - 5 carrots, diced
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 a head of cabbage, chopped
1 medium turnip, chopped
1 large leek
Salt to taste

Directions:
Put Brisket in a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.   Rinse peas & add.   Rinse barley very well & add (if the barley has not been thoroughly rinsed, it will make the broth cloudy and it should be clear).   Add salt. Cover and simmer for 2 hours.   Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for an additional 1/2 hr - 1 hour.   The brisket will need to be removed and cut prior to serving.
