    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!

    Thank you, Emeril, for this great recipe. This was so easy! All I did was add a little heavy cream at the very end. I'll certainly make this soup again!

    This soup is wonderful. I only added a small amount of half and half and used veggie stock. Absolutely great. Thanks for the recipe!

    I started by using bacon fat instead of butter to saute the leeks. I also added a finely diced shallot to the leek. I wish I had added more garlic, as I ended up adding some granulated garlic at the end. I wish I had cut my potatoes smaller, as I ended up simmering the stock/potatoes for about 50 minutes, instead of 30. I added about 1 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper, and about a teaspoon of granulated garlic, as well as about 1/3 cup heavy cream. Those things at the end rounded out the flavor and made this absolutely delicious!
