Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the bacon for 6-8 mins until crispy. Add the leek and cook, stirring, for 3-4 mins.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the flour, then cook, stirring, for 2 mins. Reduce the heat to low, then gradually add the stock. Stir through the tinned soup, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat; cook for 10-12 mins.
Meanwhile, prepare the pastry to pack instructions, then roll out on a floured surface to a 3mm thick rectangle that’s a little larger than a 20 x 25cm baking dish.
Transfer the pie filling to the dish. Cut the pastry to fit, then lay it on top of the filling; press the edges with a fork. Cut a steam hole and bake for 35-40 mins.
About 10 mins before the pie is ready, heat the oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium heat. Add the greens, cook for 3-4 mins until just wilted, then add the garlic. Cook for 1 min, then add 3 tbsp water and cover. Cook for 4-5 mins until tender. Serve the pie with the greens.
