Slice leeks in half lengthwise and then into 1/4-inch slices. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water and let soak for a few minutes to let any sand sink to bottom of bowl. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out leeks, place in a sieve, and rinse well. Repeat if necessary with a fresh bowl of water and set aside.

Heat butter in a 4-quart saucepot over medium heat. Add leeks, shallots, garlic, and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are transparent, about 8 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons fresh herbs and cook 30 seconds.

Add peas and 3 cups stock and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let soup cool slightly, about 8 minutes.

Using a standard or immersion blender, puree the soup. If using a standard blender, puree in small batches to prevent spillage. Add remaining tablespoon of herbs with last batch. Transfer to a clean pot or storage container; soup can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

To serve, reheat soup. Add milk and stir well. Use additional milk or stock if soup is too thick; simmer 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve immediately.
