In a soup pot, saute julienned leeks in virgin olive oil over medium heat until soft but not browned (about 6 or 7 minutes). Add saffron and continue cooking, until saffron is broken up (another 2 minutes). Add cockles, wine and cover. Bring to boil. Continue boiling until all cockles have opened. Stir in marjoram leaves, season with salt and pepper. Divide clams among 4 serving bowls, pour over equal amount of leeks and broth, then serve.
