    This is very good. I agree with others that a little bacon and cheese really give it a some extra umph. And I found I didn't need but a third of the cream the recipe called for

    Delicious! I swapped almond milk for the heavy cream (drastically less fat but still creamy, and used arrowroot powder for the flour to make it gluten free. Would definitely make it again!

    This soup was very good. I made some changes so my husband would eat it. Added bacon and used some of the rendered bacon fat along with the butter to make the roux. At the end I added some shredded cheese. I did taste the soup before I added the bacon and cheese and it was wonderful. This is a keeper and was so easy to make.......good on a cold winter's night!
    Add a salad and some French bread and there you have a meal.

    Thank you for this wonderful recipe. The soup had a flavor that sparkled on the pallet! I made a few changes: used some of the green from the leeks as I was short on them, substituted whole milk yogurt for cream, and had Dilll as garnish, which I would highly recommend. I love Dill. I gained so many points with the wife that my bank account is full until at least tomorrow.

    Great tasting and looking soup. Unlike many other potato leek soup recipes this soup doesn't taste too starchy or bland.

    I had already chopped everything up and was about to put in the potatoes when I realized - like the blonde I am - we didn't have any chicken stock! So I held back on adding the potatoes until my dad got back from the store. While I waited I thought of adding 3 cloves of garlic and sauted the vegetables until the onions were soft and translucent, NOT browned. I also substituted Quinoa flour for regular flour and the soup still turned out just as good, if not better!

    Super easy, I added shredded cheese and bacon to garnish. I also added Herb de Provence for more flavor

    Probably the best potato leek soup I've ever had. I did a slight redux: subbed 1/2 half-n-half, 1/2 skim milk for the heavy cream; still creamy and buttery on the tongue. I'm glad I did - I uploaded the recipe to my calorie tracker, and this cut down 8.5 grams of fat, and quite a lot of calories, per cup (tho still not exactly a diet food
