Fry (sauté) the leeks in half the low-fat spread for 2 minutes., stirring. Add the stock, cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes until tender. Puree in a blender or food processor, then return to the saucepan. Stir in the fromage frais. Meanwhile, dry-fry the bacon until the juices run. Add the scallops and cook, stirring for 2 minutes until tender. Stir into the leek puree and reheat gently. Season to taste.
