Yummy!! This meal was for a new Mommy friend who just had a baby and I felt she needed something healthy, light, and soothing to comfort all that newborn baby stress. Anyway, this recipe turned out so much more flavorful than I expected. It really turned out delicious and there was no need for any adjustments. The only things I did different was: using canned diced tomatoes (that included garlic, basil, oregano, frozen corn instead of fresh, and I added some zucchini. This recipe seems so versatile that you can probably add whatever vegetables you want and it will still taste good. The garlic/leeks sweating process is probably key to the flavor so don't change that part. I'm sure my friend will enjoy this and feel energized from all the healthy veggies. Oh and I don't usually write reviews but I was so excited and proud of myself, I had to share this for anyone else who was hesitating to make it. It's also very easy! Thanks Mr. A.Brown! Once again, you've exceeded expectations.

Just made this and it was amazing! My bf was even impressed! Followed the recipe to a tee! I will say that next time I make this, I will chop everything up first instead of doing it as I go. Too much work! I guess I should of known from the prep time! Lol ;

This is a very good very basic veg soup. I added 2 Tablespoons basil, 2 Tablespoons marjoram, 2 Tablespoons oregano, 2 Tablespoons rosemary, 2 Tablespoons thyme (basic italian seasoning if you dont have all the ingredients or want to cheat!, a small bunch of Swiss chard de-stemmed and chopped, a small bunch of kale chopped, and some celery. This went from boring to flavorful and amazing. I gave it four stars because it is a very versatile soup you could truly turn it into just about anything. My daughter loved this soup and it was very good with some hot homemade garlic bread!

This is the *only* vegetable soup recipe I now make. It is just too too good to bother with any other recipe. The leeks are perhaps the secret ingredient but regardless of whatever it is that gives this soup its great flavor, it never ever disappoints. I do prefer more veggies in the broth so I double the veggies, extra carrots, add a zucchini, etc. THANK YOU for this one, Alton!

It was very good. Leek is the key, sweet aroma works perfect!
I use can of tomato instead of fresh one. And add little chili for kick. skip corn, serve with delicious country bread.
it is perfect for cold and tired winter night....

Soup was very good. Made a few revisions 1 no corn or potatoes, trying to watch sugar/starch 2 Added 2 celery stalks chopped w/ the leeks 3 added sweet potato in place of white potato and 4 added chopped kale. It's a very good soup and other than the additions or deletions of veggies I tried to follow the recipe regarding herbs/spices/flavor. It's a very good soup recipe and a good base soup to fool around with. Next time I may try some new herbs/spices? And even some more veggies (roasted brussels sprouts!.

We loved this soup! All it has in it is vegetables and I can't believe all the flavor it creates. I do have to admit that my DH and I are into veggies and eating healthy these days--the reward is we feel better!! The only additions I made was to add 2 cans cannellini beans, celery, frozen green beans and frozen corn, also I did not peel the tomatoes. As per following reviews I added fresh thyme and dried sage. Oh so yummy and perfect for the body and the soul. I also added extra chicken stock. Makes a lot of soup--I always add lots of veggies.

I followed the recipe to the T and found it lacking flavor- even after letting the flavors meddle in the fridge overnight. I decided to add some butter beans and kale, then thyme, celery seed, dried oregano, and dried basil. I'm always looking for go-to soup recipes--- this one did not make the cut. I won't be making this again, and I don't recommend it.
