Instructions:
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Cook leeks with thyme and garlic on low heat. Cook until soft but not yet brown. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add peas and lettuce and continue cooking until the peas are tender. Be careful not to overcook them or they’ll end up mushy. Stir in the mint and add black pepper to your liking.
