Drop the thinly sliced leeks (tender green parts as
well as white) into 1/2-inch fast-boiling salted
water. Cook until very tender. Save the cooking
liquor. Whizz the leeks to a smooth, pale green
puree. Season, enrich with knobs of butter and thin
with a little of the cooking liquor if liked. Serve
garnished with a bouquet of green coriander and
triangles of fried bread. Add some soft-boiled eggs
for a quick vegetarian supper.
