Heat butter in a heavy-bottomed soup pot and saute leeks and garlic over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, or until tender and aromatic. Add vegetable stock and bread, bring to a summer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.

Puree in blender and return to pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and add a pinch of cayenne. Stir in yogurt or cream and serve.
