Steps:
- Melt butter in a large pot, and cook the leeks over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and coriander. Reserve about 1/4 cup of small broccoli florets, and cook the rest of the broccoli with the leeks until the broccoli is bright green, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the soup to a boil, cover, then simmer until the broccoli is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
- Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the reserved broccoli florets, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often. Simmer until the broccoli florets are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and mix in the condensed milk. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant flavor than frozen broccoli. If you're using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it's tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Use low-fat milk or broth: To make the soup lighter, use low-fat milk or broth instead of whole milk or cream. You can also use a combination of milk and broth.
- Add some cheese: If you like, you can add some grated cheese to the soup for extra flavor. Cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère are all good choices.
- Serve with a side of bread or crackers: This soup is delicious served with a side of bread or crackers for dipping.
