Melt the butter on a gentle heat in a large pan then add the leeks and stir, cover the pan with a lid to let them sweat. Whilst that’s happening peel and chop the potatoes to small dice and chop the onion small add these to the pan stir and cover, leave for a further 5 mins.
Now add the chicken stock to the pan then stir in the milk add salt and pepper cover again still on a gentle heat for about 20 mins until everything is soft.
