I just made this using almond milk instead of the cream or buttermilk, and it still turned out creamy without the fat or lactose. I also added fresh thyme and a few whole black pepper corns with the potatoes.

I do not do "difficult" and this not only easy but very tasty.

This was simple to make and excellent. I loved it, it is now my standard recipe for leek and potato soup.

When I go to the farmers market I like to get something I've never cooked with before. This time I found some elephant garlic (It kind of looks like a leek but tastes like clean floral garlic. I used three stalks of elephant garlic and 1 medium yellow onion in place of the leeks. The other change I made was that I hate buying buttermilk because I don't use it much and it goes to waste. Heavy cream on the other hand is a lot more versatile. So I used the heavy cream to make my own buttermilk (whip until it separates then strain, and had leftover fresh butter for the week. FYI, it takes two cups of cream to make about 1 cup of buttermilk.
I'm usually reluctant to use heavy cream because of the calories but I got five servings out of this soup and at only 375 calories per serving I was impressed.
Overall the soup came out great and I'd make it again.

Alton you are a genius =. This soup is amazing. I didn't use buttermilk for fear of currdeling the milk and I added some pan fried Ham to the mix. So good I couldn't stop eating it.

I had high hopes for this, but it was just awful. Bitter-tasting and unappealing.

This dish is a winner in my house... Everyone in my house love it and gets so excited when I make it. I think that the buttermilk and white pepper realy set it off...I am planting Leeks in my garden this summer just so I have lots of leeks on hand next fall and winter to make this soup often.

This was probably the best, most DELICIOUS food I have ever eaten. Which totally blew me away considering how simple it is! I used chicken stock instead of vegetable because that's what I had in the pantry. It was SO delicious. YUM.

My first work with leeks! It received rave reviews. I used 2% milk instead of the cream and it was still delicious. You could really taste the distinction of the white pepper.
