Leeks

The leek is a vegetable, a cultivar of Allium ampeloprasum, (the broadleaf wild leek). The edible part of the plant is a bundle of leaf sheaths that is sometimes erroneously called a stem or stalk. The genus Allium also contains the onion, garlic, shallot, scallion, chive, and Chinese onion. Once grown it can be used in food like Leek and Potato soup.
