Two Leeks. Thinly slice the white portion, and some of the more tender green
Two tablespoons butter

In a heavy pot, lightly brown the sliced Leeks in the butter.
Place in Food processor, along with 1/4 cup of the Chicken Stock, and puree
Add the Avocado slices and another 1/4 cup stock. Puree
Transfer back to the heavy pot, add the rest of the stock, and bring to a slow boil. Stir often, do not let it burn or over heat.
Check the seasoning, add in the Heavy Cream, return to a boil for just a few moments. Stir well, and remove from the heat.
