Brown Windsor Beef Soup image

This is one of those soups that for years has had a terrible reputation as the dreadful 'Brown soup' served up routinely in boarding houses before and after World War II. However, properly made this is a great British soup and well worth trying.

1 ounce butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 leek, green only, chopped
