Leek Soup Preparation:


Method:

Melt the butter in a pan, add the leeks then cover the pan and allow to sweat gently for 10 minutes, or until tender. Take off the heat, add the béchamel sauce then whisk-in the milk. Return to the heat and gently return to a boil. Whisk to combine, reduce to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
