  5. In a large pot sauté the leeks in olive oil with a pinch of salt until soft. Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant.
  6. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2–3 minutes, then slowly whisk in the milk. Simmer until thickened.
  7. Finish with a generous handful of Parmesan, a pinch of nutmeg, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
