Heat oil in a small frying pan, add garlic and cook garlic until fragrant and golden. Set aside and cool.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil. When boiling, add ground beef in generous pinches, by hand or by teaspoon, making free form meatballs. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in spinach, leeks, fish sauce salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl, pour the crispy garlic and oil mixture over the soup.
