    THE BEST DISH IVE EVER MADE!! This recipe needs no tweaking at all! but I just decreased the quantity. The bacon & white wine seriously is a MUST! I tried this recipe a 2nd time without the wine...and it just DIDNT taste the same! This is my NEW potatoe & leek soup recipe. Oh yea and NO I didnt make the bouquet thing either WAY TOO confusing

    This is an absolutely fantastic soup, I make it at least once a month and even then it's still in demand.

    I dislike the bouquet garni advice though, the one using the leek leaves as the container is confusing and outright frustrating to make, don't even bother trying to make it. I just take a good sized double lined coffee filter, put the stuff in there and tie it up with dental floss, works really well, and saves you from having to buy cheesecloth, seriously, almost no average kitchen has cheesecloth on hand.

    I agree with other posts...if there were 6 stars this soup would get that. What I love about this recipe is that it was simple to prepare and yet BIG on taste. I would feel happy to serve this to fussy dinner guests.

    GREAT SOUP...One thing I have added to it was before I mix the soup in a blender I take some of the potatoes out ( I cube them small and place them back into the bowl as I serve it.

    GREAT TASTE

    If there were 6 stars, I'd go with that. Like someone else said the soup is beyond good ... it is great. No amazingly fantastic! So, so, so simple to make and so, so, so good to eat. I did add a small sweet onion, a tiny bit of garlic while sauteeing (sp? and some extra bacon with the butter part. Used half 2% milk and half whipping cream in the end. Oh ya, also threw in a pinch of Essence and a teas of stone ground dijon before using my immersion blender. My fam is already asking for me to make it again. If you have more than 4 eating, I would double this way excellent recipe!

    I thought the soup was good, but not great. Even the bacon couldn't save the flavor. My least favorite potato leek soup I've made.

    The best potato leek soup ever. Used pancetta instead of bacon and it turned out beautifully. I licked my bowl and hid the leftovers from my family. Really.

    Thank you for this fantastic recipe!

    I didn't even use all the correct ingredients. I used beef broth (my own and no bacon (we don't eat it and yet it turned out to be an excellent soup. My husband said it was excellent and he is not very expressive in this regards. By the way, I didn't have much time, so I just put those ingredients that were meant to be put together in a special way, and simply fished them out once the soup was cooked and before adding the sour cream.

    Many thanks!
