    This was absolutely fantastic. I used bacon, did not out it in the food processor, we prefer the texture. It was to die for!!

    I loved it! However, I added 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Also, make sure to really clean the leeks only using the white and light green part. I cut them finely into slices. Also added fresh cracked pepper and homemade croutons with very crusty Italian bread. Wonderful!!!

    I've made a lot of recipes from food network and this is the first review I've written... I had to, this is sooo delicious!! I cut the recipe in half and it made 4 servings. I also used bacon instead of pancetta and the soup has a really great smoky flavor. I added a jalapeno to give it a little kick and it did something great for the soup. I LOVED this soup!! Defintey going to make this again!

    I love this recipe. I have tweaked it a bit over time and was surprised to find that my changes make it pretty close to the creamy potato leek soup recipe Emeril also has on this site. I use bacon rather than pancetta (because my husband prefers it and it's cheaper. I only use 5 cups of stock (4 of chicken, one of beef. I blend about 3/4 of the soup for the creaminess factor. I also mince in four fairly large cloves of garlic. When I take it off the heat, I stir in about a cup of heavy cream, top it with crumbled boursin and the crisped bacon. Just wonderful, particularly on a raw day like this when the University of Michigan is beating Purdue!

    Made this soup and it was great! Used chicken broth and beef stock. I also added 1/2 a cup of white cooking wine instead of 3 tbs. This soup was a hit and easy to make!

    This recipe is so simple, but very good. I halved the recipe and it seemed like it made more than 4 servings, so I'm sure that the whole recipe would have made a ton. I didn't make the garnishes because I was trying to cut back on the calories. Instead, I topped it with some toasted almonds for texture. Will definitely make this one again.

    That was really good. I used bacon also...and truffle oil and truffle butter...it made much more than 3 servings. I froze the left overs for a meal for later...

    Made this tonight and followed the recipe exactly, except I used bacon instead of pancetta. I pureed the entire pot and it was delicious. It does make more than 4 servings - feels like 6+. I couldn't believe how thick and creamy it came out pureed, without any cream/milk. Made the garnishes too and it was worth it. I definitely recommend.
