    oh my, this is Delisc! i changed it up quite a bit and i like my version. i added diced carrots, used veggie broth instead of chic, more leaks & sauv blanc. i just blended a little bit of it and left most of it unblended--mmm! thanks for the excellent start!

    Excellent! I was a little intimidated by the bouquet garni, which I hadn't made, but it was super easy. I went over-board on the peppercorns and could taste it. I did go lighter on the cream. We also went 100% vegetarian, using vegetable broth. It all worked beautifully!

    Excellent and easy to make. Both my husband and I loved it. I made it vegetarian by omitting the bacon (we don't eat meat. I also used half-and-half instead of heavy cream because I was trying to cut some of the calories. It was still delicious! I have made other potato/leek soups before but this will be my new go-to recipe. You have to try it!

    Oh my, this was soooo good. I used blush instead of white wine, and it gave it a bit of a tang with the leeks.

    Absolutly amazing :D

    Oh brother! Is this good?
    I like simple recipes which deliver. This certainly is all of that.
    I made it just as described and gained admiration from all your guests.
    (OK my bay could have been more fresh, but no one noticed.
    Thank you for a great addition to my life.

    I just made thIs today and it was excellent and easy. As for salt I added it because I used sweet butter but I did not add it till the end so to avoid over salting. I used a Chilean chardonnay and creme fraiche. Perfect for a snowy day like today!

    Yummmmmmm! I made for a sick friend and loved so much I made two rounds back to back so I would have one frozen for later. I do let my pot sit for up to 4 hours on no heat and let the flavors really get rich. My hubby didn't know what leeks are before but now he knows for sure!!!
