Preparation

In a large saucepan, over medium heat, sauté leek in butter, 2 minutes. Add lettuce, watercress, spinach and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken broth and bring to boil. Cover and cook over low heat until carrots are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add milk and purée in blender.

Pour back into saucepan and warm up. Adjust seasoning.

In a skillet, over medium-high heat, cook mushrooms in butter until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are golden. Serve soup and garnish with sautéed mushrooms. May be served hot or cold.
