This tasted like something you'd find at a fancy restaurant. I left out the meat because I'm a vegetarian, but my meat eating husband didn't even miss it because it was so good. I tasted it chunky and after I pureed it, and I preferred it pureed. The hint of white wine really gave it a good flavor.

This recipe is sooooooooo good. It is easy, and does not have amy heavy cream or anything too too fattening. I have made it many times now and never been disappointed. It is tried and true. I'm going to try to lighten it up even more by draining off all the fat drippings using less butter and a mix if vegtable and chicken stock.

I played with this recipe just a little bit, but it was AMAZING! Anyone who loves hardy soups should definitely try this recipe out. My roommates who don't usually like any kind of greens loved this dish. This is a keeper for sure!

With so many recipes for this soup, I chose to try this one and was not disappointed. I didn't have any open white wine so I added a little 1/2 & 1/2 to the soup. It was very tasty and I like a little more creamy lighter look. I also didn't do the fried garnish on top, just the chives. GOOD!

I tried to make Rachael Ray's Mushroom Pasta the other night. The pasta topping consisted of mushrooms and leeks sauteed with garlic and olive oil, and it just seemed too thick and too full of leeks to put on top of pasta. So we opened a jar of pasta sauce and I saved the leek and mushroom mixture. I decided to make potato leek soup and used this recipe, but I made a few substitutions. I used bacon instead of pancetta, and all chicken stock instead a mixture of chicken and beef, just because that is what I had on hand. After sauteeing the bacon and onion, I added the mushroom and leek mixture and then proceeded with the recipe. I did puree it in the blender and am glad I did. I did not do the fried topping, but would consider it if I was entertaining. The soup was delicious last night and I think the leftovers will be even better!

I thought this soup was fabulous and tasted richer than the ingredients called for. I also topped mine with the fried onion you get at the grocery store to save time!

This has become my "signature" dish with friends and family. It is by far the best soup I've ever had....my friends and family say the same as well! Very easy to make, especially after the first time. I found some bouquet garni satchets at a specialty food store, which is MUCH easier to use than trying to tie the leeks or some cheescloth together.

I doctored it just a bit but I was very impressed with the outcome. It had great flavor although I didn't taste the leeks too much. Will be extra good during the winter (if you can find leeks

This was yummy and easy to make. I chose to blend it, and the soup has a very nice consistency.
