    Very good. FYI, if you want to lighten it up a tad, 1/2 and 1/2 works just fine in place of heavy cream and also I used light buttermilk and it was still rich and creamy.

    I proudly used my own organic homegrown yukon gold potatoes and leeks. This recipe came out to be one of the best potato soups I have ever tasted! Everyone agreed, and are requesting repeats.

    Just harvested all of my garden leeks and needed something to do with them. This is so tasty! I left my potatoes a little chunkier than instructed. This is the reason to grow leeks and yukon golds if you are looking for one! LOVE IT!

    After reading so many 5 star reviews, I really wanted to love this soup. Unfortunately, I found it to be "ok" - not bad, but not great either. My husband who is not a picky eater at all didn't like it. He said "I feel like I am drinking a warm bowl of milk." The soup has good flavor but nothing I would make again. Perhaps all the buttermilk and cream was just a bit too much for our liking. Sorry Alton! I do love some of your other recipes, though!

    I've made this dozens of times and it comes out fantastic in spite of me! The only thing I did was follow some other suggestions and substitute 1 cup of milk for 1 cup of cream. Delicious!!

    Alton, always right on the measurements every time every recipe. My skinny wife had thirds!

    This is a fantastic recipe. I used to make it so often I knew the recipe by heart. No substitutions. The only thing I do different is I eat it hot and sometimes put some sour cream on top.

    Amazing!! This is the best soup I have ever made at home. I like to only puree 3/4 of the soup because I like have texture of some leek and potato pieces. Pay attention to cooking times and what you are accomplishing, because I used small red potatoes diced so they cooked way faster and I removed after 20 minutes once my potatoes were soft. Also, the leeks need to be nice and soft no matter what the cooking time, more or less. My leeks were ready in 20 minutes. The can carry a very strong bitter and unappealing taste if undercooked for those that disliked this recipe.
