     3/4   lb           Leeks -- very thinly sliced
                        Butter

  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.
