    This soup is delicious and easy. I thought it needed a little extra flavor so I added cayenne and paprika and a sprinkle of parmesan at the end, but no cream needed. Also used black pepper instead of white. Very silky texture. Not a parsley fan, I finished with chopped chives. I will be making this soup again soon!

    It was easy and tasty, but I highly recommend not using the green parts of the leeks as it came out with a very unappetizing greenish color. I also think I pureed it too long in the blender because it ended up a tad pasty in texture. Am going to try again using one extra leek, only the white parts, and a stick blender.

    Really good recipe! I also added half an onion with the leeks and half a cup of cream at the end.

    I thought it was great! I, too, added some chopped onion, extra garlic, extra pepper, and heavy cream (in the end just 3/4 cup or so to perk it up a bit. Well worth it!

    I made this recipe, but added two chicken bouillon cubes to the soup after I ran it through my food processor. Instead of Emeril's cheese I added pepperjack cheese. The soup came out incredible! I give it a rating of 4, since I had to alter the soup to make it taste great.

    This soup was awesome. I did add a slash of heavy cream at the end also and the cheese on top made it perfect. My 3 year old twins ate almost my whole bowl. Perfect!!

    This was sooo easy and my whole family really liked it! I used red potatoes added about 1/4 cup onion and more garlic. I just mashed everything in the pot and continued cooking with some shredded carrot. I also just used the salted butter that I had on hand. I used the Alouette garlic herb spread, as that was the only one that my grocery store had. This is a definate keeper!

    Very easy to make and, like another reviewer, added a little half-and-half at the end. In addition, while the veggies were simmering, I added a tsp. on no-salt (e.g., Mrs. Dash original and 1/2 tsp. of crushed pepper. Definitely kicked it up a notch!
