I really loved this soup! I am only giving it 4 stars because you really do not need the additional salt. I actually cut the salt in half and it was on the verge of ruin because of the amount of salt. I think unless you are using a low sodium broth it really doesn't need any additional salt. The soup has fabulous flavor and is a nice hearty winter soup. I will definitely make this again! Thanks Emril =

Want to take this from a 4 star to a 5? Add two extra slices of bacon and an extra 1/4 cup of white wine. Omit salt. Add a tablespoon of dried thyme and a tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper. Add 1/4 cup of parmesan at the end. Be sure to cook for ~ 10 minutes after you blend!

Chilly fall breezes came through Nashville and I was in the mood for some warm soup. I had never made potato leek soup before and this recipe - made as is - was fabulous. So easy, so simple and so delicious. The only thing I sneaked in was a handful of grated asiago cheese. Thanks Emeril !!

This is one of the best soups I've ever made! (or tasted! Always get lots of compliments! Preparation is very easy. I used about a 1/4 tsp of ground thyme since I didn't have dried sprigs. Having an immersion blender makes blending it all together so quick and easy. Top with snipped chives and this is a beautiful restaurant-quality presentation! (Also, I've made it once without the heavy cream for lactose-intolerant family members and it's still delicious.

Great recipe! Like others, I just added the garnish in without making a bouquet and fished them out once cooked (very easy to do. I also used turkey bacon (three strips, perfect amount. The last thing I added was some dill, goes perfect with every potato dish... phenomenal! I ended up adding a substantial amount of peppercorn (probably 30 crushed peppercorns total and pepper.

Delicious! I made this tonight for a dinner get together and it was enjoyed by everyone! I substituted turkey bacon (for a friend who doesn't eat pork, added a little extra wine (who doesn't like a little extra wine?, and instead of the doing the bouquet garni, I put the bay leaves and thyme directly into the soup (scooping them out before serving, and used a teaspoon of black pepper. Will definitely make again!
