I loved this recipe. I used vegetable broth b/c I am vegetarian and I added a bit of half and half. VERY GOOD!

I've made this several times now and it's the best recipe for "potato-leek" soup - I like how Emeril gives the leeks top billing. As others have mentioned, I also include some herbs and peppercorns in bouquet garni. The dollop of herbed cheese really makes the dish. Alouette works fine in place of boursin.

This recipe is great and easy. The only change I made was to use Alouette brand spreadable cheese (Garlic and Herbs flavor instead of Boursin cheese because it was much cheaper for the quantity I used. As recommended by a previous review, I added half of the tub of the cheese to the soup. WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! This combined with a teaspoon of cheese added to the top of the soup made this recipe out of this world!

This is a great soup to make when you need something warm, tastey, and fast. I usually cut up the cheese and add it to the pot. For me, the cheese is the "secret" ingredient. Also, besure to use boiling potatoes (white or yukon gold and not russet - the russet will make it grainy while the white/yukon make it creamy.

This was so easy but the flavor of the soup would make anyone think you'd slaved over it! My children are very picky and it's hard to find anything new they like but they just keep asking for this one....so unlike them. I double the recipe so we can have the rest for lunch the next day. The Boursin cheese is a wonderful compliment.

not really crazy about the texture...i added bacon and parmesan cheese, couldn't afford the boursin, but I didn't really think it complimented the soup well.

I have tried several different recipes for potato leek soup and this is the best one so far. It had a very full flavor and was not watery. The cheese topping is a must! I used alouette cheese instead of the boursin (it was 1/2 the price and it was still great!

I have made this twice and it is a great, one-pot soup. It is creamy without dairy (which makes the lactose -ontolerant at the table happy, but is even better with the Boursin cheese.
