250g carrots, diced
250g leeks, sliced
700ml chicken stock (or vegetable stock if preferred)
200ml milk

Method

 

Heat the butter in pan and add onions and leeks and cook gently for a few minutes until thoroughly coated then add the vegetables and continue cooking for another three or four minutes while stirring. Add the stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
