Green onions. NUM! Growing up, my friends and I would raid my mother's garden for these. A little salt in the palms of our hands for dipping was all that was needed!
Here I thought they were also chives, but looking it up I now know that chives are a completely different plant. I think I will plant a few chives in my garden to keep "bad bugs" away. They
also have a pretty purple flower on them. Neat!
Nin- Those aren't "poireaux", they're "oignons verts" or as we call them in Québec "échalottes" (I know this last one is a bit of a mistake, but that's the way people call them here).
"Poireaux" are much bigger, and you're right, in English they're called leeks.
I call them green onions and I only recently ever learned they existed. My mom was recovering from surgery at home and when I came to their house to visit I did the weekly grocery shopping
from them and stood in the produce dept. going WTF??? for a good ten minutes until I had someone show me! It was funny.
It took me a long time to realize they were the same thing. I kept finding recipes that called for "scallions or green onions" so I thought they were different, just interchangeable.
I call them Green Onions, but I know that if a recipe calls for scallions it's the same. I used to get scallions and shallots confused because I thought they were the ones that were one in
the same. Now I know better.

This soup ends up being a good source of three blood pressure-lowering minerals since the milk adds calcium and the potatoes deliver a dose of potassium, as well as magnesium.
