Side-by-side mode- Important: A mixer or a blender will be greatly useful to reduce this soup into puree.

- Melt butter in a casserole at medium low heat. Brown leeks for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring until tenders. Pour broth and water and bring to a boil. Add peas and lettuce. Simmer half covered (to reduce faiding) for 7 to 8 minutes or until peas tenders.
- Add mint and reduce everything into puree in a mixer or blender. Set back soup over heat, season with salt and pepper then heat up for 2 to 3 minutes.
