Allotment harvest

I'm still gathering goodies from the allotment. Following a 2 hour digging and weeding session today I gathered a few bits including 5 leeks, a few pototoes I found whilst turning the potato patch, 1 celery plant, 3 parsnips (I know its too early to pull them up, I couldn't resist), some french beans and the remainder of the beetroot......totalling around a dozen plants the largest of which weighes nearly 500g (and they are nearly all that size).

I'm in the process of making a hearty filling winter soup with some of it and whilst looking for some beetroot recipes found these......
