Favorite leek based dishes? I just made a leek salad with a lot of other veggies, but still have more leftover leeks than a reasonable single person needs

Roasted butternut squash soup is pretty good. Chop the squash up into chunks, coat in oil and roast it in the oven until it gets some browning. Sautee a ton of leeks, some garlic, some ginger, and some onion or shallot in a pot. Put the squash in and add some stock until just barely covered. Throw in some herbs and a bay leaf. Once the squash is starting to fall apart, remove the bay leaf and blend the soup(an immersion blender makes it easier, but you can do it in a regular blender in batches). Strain it if you want really silk smooth soup, but it's not necessary.
Add some sweetness if desired, I like to add a little maple syrup. Serving it with some browned butter is also a nice touch, but also necessary.
