Introduce the recipe and mention the ingredients.

Prepare 1 pound of cremini mushrooms and 1 pound of white button cap mushrooms.

Clean the mushrooms with a brush to remove dirt without washing them.

Trim and clean 3 leeks, removing the dark green parts and washing out the dirt inside.

Weigh the leeks to ensure you have about 1 pound, adjusting as necessary.

Slice the leeks into pieces about the width of a pinkie finger (3/8 to 1/2 inch).

Heat olive oil and butter in a pot over medium heat.

Add the sliced leeks and sauté until softened.

Add the cleaned and sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until softened.

Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to combine.

Gradually add chicken broth or vegetable broth, stirring to avoid lumps.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.

Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender.

Stir in heavy cream and grated Grana Padano cheese, mixing well.

Season with salt to taste and heat through.

Serve hot.
