6 cups finely chopped leeks
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons flour

Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy saucepan, add leeks and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Add water, cover and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes or until tender.

In another saucepan, melt the remaining butter, blend in flour and cook over medium heat until bubbling. Blend in leek mixture, bring to boil and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
