How to cook Leek Soup

• Cut off the coarse part of the green ends of the leeks, and cut the leeks lengthways, so as to be able to brush out the grit.
• Wash the leeks well, and see no grit remains, then cut them in short pieces.
• Peel, wash, and cut up the potatoes, then cook both vegetables with 2 pints of water.
• When the vegetables are quite tender, rub them through a sieve.
• Return the mixture to the saucepan, add the butter, milk, and seasoning, and boil the soup up again.
• Before serving add the lemon juice; serve with snippets of toast.
