Kitchen Sink Soup image

Everything in it but the kitchen sink; a stick-to-your-ribs winter soup. One of our favourites when the wind starts a-blowin' and the grey skies start a-snowin'. Don't be tempted to use onions instead of leeks now. The leeks are required. Like all pea soups, better the next day.
