Cut 3 inches of one of the leeks into slices and then separate into rings. Take the rest of the leeks, chop them and cook them in the butter and oil for approximately 1 minute. Next, mix in the saffron and flour and gradually stir in the stock. Once the mixture is boiling simmer gently for 10 minutes until thickened.
Whizz soup in processor until smooth, return to pan, season and heat gently.
Heat a small amount of frying oil into a frying pan. Toss the leek rings in the cornflour and then dip into the egg white. Once done, fry the leek rings until crisp and golden.
Scatter leek rings over the soup along with the spring onion.
