Clean the leek, halve it lengthwise, and cut it into thin strips. Dice the ham and sauté it in a little oil or clarified butter in a hot pan until it develops a roasted aroma. Add the leek, stir through, and sauté briefly. Pour in the stock (about 300-400ml, depending on how thick you want the soup) and bring to a boil briefly, then reduce the heat slightly. Let the soup simmer gently until the leek is tender (about 7-10 minutes). For a more concentrated soup, you can briefly puree it. Season to taste. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche on each plate, if desired.
