White onions or scallions, sure. Won't be quite the same but not as far off as red.

You can but you shouldn't because onions are too strong of a flavour unlike leek if used in great numbers, unless youre slowly caramelising them like in french onion soup., In fact, if that pic was making a decent leek and potato soup, it would have called for one onion, way more leeks and only a few potatoes.

I did this on a camping trip and used the exact recipe. Trust me, it's worth finding the leeks

leeks are easy to get, all you have to do is find a farmer's market

Ask and you shall receive. Here is my favorite recipe for a seafood stew:

Ingredients:

>2 tablespoons unsalted butter
>2 leeks, chopped up nicely
>2 big carrots, chopped up
>2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine
>1/2 cup of pearl barley
>2 cups of water
>12 oz can of evaporated milk
>2 turnips, chopped up
>1/2 cup of your favorite white wine
>1/4 tsp thyme leaves
>1/2 teaspoon crunched up saffron
>1 cup of heavy cream
>salt and pepper to your liking
>1 1/2 lbs of cod, cut up in chunks
>3/4 cup of clam meat
>1 cup of crab (you can use imitation if you'd like)

First, be sure to soak that barley for an hour before you start anything else

Place 1/2 lb of the cod in a pot with the 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the fish and set aside for later. Keep your fishy goodness water (stock).

In a saucepan, melt the butter and saute leeks, carrots, and garlic over medium low. Cook until limp but not brown.

Add wine and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce to medium low heat, and add that fishy water, along with the thyme, salt, pepper, barley, and turnips. Cook this until your turnips are nice and tender.


In another saucepan, heat the cream, then add the crushed saffron threads until you get that beautiful golden color. Stir this mixture along with the evaporated milk into the other pan (the one with the turnips!)

Add your fish, crabmeat, and clams and turn the heat to low. Cover this, and cook on medium low until fish is ready (around 7-10 minutes).

Get some crusty bread and go to down fam

GENTLY sautee ginger and garlic in a wok, take them out but leave the oil
put in some sambal paste (it's just toasted spices mashed together, you can make some if you don't have any on hand)
disperse into oil
put in bits of seafood (mussels, baby shrimp tails, small cubes of fish meat, whatever you have on hand)
stir-fry
deglaze with white wine
if you like vegetables in your soup, now's the time. bell pepper, bok choy, whatever, toss it in there, wilt it, sautee it, you get the idea
put in coconut milk and some lemongrass
simmer
take out the lemongrass
pour into bowls
put some chives on top
