Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

The recipe is Dutch; the mustard is called Abrahams. We used sweet American mustard. Melt the butter. Add the flour and make a roux. Let the roux simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. Warm the stock and gradually add it to the roux, stir until smooth, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with mustard. Briefly fry small bacon cubes, cut the trimmed leek into very fine rings, and add it to the soup with the bacon. Garnish with a dollop of cream and give it a quick stir before serving. Do not let the soup boil. If you like, you can eat it with bread.
