  2. Roast the seasoned broccoli and leeks on a tray for 15‑20 minutes until nicely browned.

  3. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender, add minced garlic, mustard paste, the green liquid, and roasted lemon; blend until smooth.

  4. Heat the blended mixture in a pot, stir in grated cheddar and shredded mozzarella, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper.

  5. Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with croutons or cheese crumbles, chopped green herbs, and a final sprinkle of salt and freshly ground pepper.

  6. Toast the sourdough bread slices.

  7. Spread the grainy condiment onto one slice of bread.

  8. Layer the spread slice with two pickle slices, ham slices, and a generous amount of grated cheddar and shredded mozzarella.

  9. Grill or toast the assembled sandwich until the cheese melts and the bread is golden.

  10. Serve the soup alongside the ham & pickle toastie.
