    I made this soup for dinner tonight and I wasn't very impressed. I felt the overwhelming flavor was the bacon, I didn't taste the leeks very much at all! Prob wouldn't make it again, unless I altered it somehow.

    BLEKHHHHHH! Could not even taste the thyme (what was with that 'bundle'?, wine gave it a strange smell (I drank the wine - it was good wine and WHO in their right mind uses 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt for this small a pot of soup (on top of chicken stock AND bacon? Salty and sour was the taste outcome. Couldn't wait to throw this recipe in the recycle can.

    It was good but the dominant flavor was the bacon.

    This is a delicious soup. I have tried it exactly as written and also with the addition of ham ~ so good ~ and really very easy. If you are not a fan of creamy soup, the recipe is easily adapted by ommiting the blending step. The recipe is just as good served chunky.

    Very easy recipe and delicious soup!! I doubled the recipe and the reheated soup still tastes great. I specifically used dry cooking sherry and dried thyme instead of fresh thyme. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly.

    This soup is one of my favorites. I used to order from a local restaurant but never attempted to make. We planted leeks in our garden this year just to make this soup. While checking various recipes, this one had ingredients that matched our tastes best. Really, Really GOOD and easy to make. Our home smells absolutely wonderful right now.

    I make a lot of soups... but this one... oh man... DELICIOUS. And it's pretty darn easy! I could make this every night and my husband would love it. He asks for it at least once a week... okay, more like 5 times a week!!!

    I made it with red potatoes (all I had on hand and they made the soup very rich and creamy. Also omitted the wine and it was still very delicious! Also used a coffee filter to hold the herbs... worked great!

    This recipe makes a deliciously brothy soup! We substituted Italian sausage for the bacon and we added watercress and kale. It was deliciously brothy even with the cream, which is something we really appreciated because we're not big on chowder-style soups. We used russet potatoes and 1 leek. These, simmered together with the thyme, bay leaves and the white wine were simply mouth-watering flavors for our taste buds to behold!

    I omitted the white wine since we didn't have any. And I used a clean coffee filter with a twisty-tie (set so the plastic wasn't in the water to bundle the herbs and peppercorns in since I didn't have a cheese cloth or string to tie a bundle together. This soup was simply amazing! We loved it and will absolutely make it again. My husband said it's the best soup I've ever made!

    This was a VERY EASY recipe and it tastes delicious!!! I had never made any for m of this soup before today. My hubby and my boys LOVED it. They went back for fourths. The only change I made was I quadrupled the bacon because I know that my guys really like bacon. I only had 4 cups of chicken broth so I added 1 cup of water to make the called for "5 cups".

    This recipe is a "LOVE IT" in my family and gets a permanent spot in my recipe book.
