I have made lots of leek and potato soups but this is by far the best ever. I am looking forward to the summer to try it chilled. The flavour was delicious and it was very easy to make. By the way I used chicken stock as I had no veggie available and it worked beautifully.

Can't miss. I can't explain it, but sometimes this soup smells like vomit to me. Not sure if it's the buttermilk or what. Regardless, it is excellent. Always wins many compliments.

This is my favorite potato leek soup, and I've tried so many. I think what really makes the difference is the white pepper...it brings such a unique flavor to the broth. To keep it lower calorie, I do not add any dairy. I also do not puree the ingredients so that it is a nice chunky and brothy soup. It doesn't need the cream or milk at all! It's delicious without it. My whole family (including my 3yo loves this soup.

A very tasty and satisfying soup. Because I've never found a commercially available vegetable broth that I like, I substituted two cans of chicken broth and three cans of low-salt chicken broth for the vegetable broth. I also substituted 1/2 and 1/2 for the heavy cream. I like my soup to have a bit of chunkiness, so I skipped using the immersion blender on the cooked potatoes, and instead mixed two tablespoons of flour with the cooked leek mixture (to thicken the soup, before I gradually stirred in the broth. The resulting soup was great served with a crusty rosemary bread. My husband declared this a keeper.

I love it. But, I would rather use chicken stock, and I suggest MORE potatoes! We used 3 large instead of small, and we will probably add more next time :

If you don't have an immersion blender, DON'T worry! Neither do I! We just poured it into a regular blender. BUT, BE CAREFUL, do NOT over fill it, or else it could result in serious burns... my boyfriend thought it would save time to try to fill the blender up to full capacity, not a good idea (he did get burned, but not badly, don't worry :P So just blend it a little at a time (we could safely fill the blender up half-way

This is awesome. My first try with leeks and I love them now. I used skim milk in place of the heavy cream and added cooked crumbled bacon. Delicious.

Fantastic comfort soup! Easy to make, my 8 year old grandson just loved it. My mom spilled it all over her plate and said it made great gravy! Will make this a lot

Added some fresh tarragon while it finished simmering with beautiful results. This will be my go-to Potato and Leek soup recipe from now on. I enjoyed it hot on New Years Eve and cold on New Years Day.
