INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Place the peas in a bowl. Cover with cold water and let soak for at least 4 hours. Ensuring they are always completely covered with water. Slice the leeks and place in a large bowl of water to rid them of any sand or dirt. Scoop the leeks out with your hand or slotted spoon.

  3. Cover and simmer for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
For the dumplings
  1. In a bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
  2. Cut in the butter, add the cheese and milk.
  3. Divide the dough in 6 pieces and drop into the boiling soup. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes.
