I am Asian & my husband is Caucasian. He is now under the weather. If I had my way, I would feed him Chicken soup every day, with all the goodness of ginger, garlic, celery & carrots in it, as I do with my kids, but he can't take that every day. Today, he says he misses his Grandmother's cooking, so I found this & Julia Child's recipe can't be wrong for Mr. America Man. Wow, it looks & tastes so good!

Really loved this. Did not have creme fraiche so used plain Greek yogurt. Great substitution. I also added a cup chicken broth in place of the water. Not so heavy as other recipes. Hubby and I both loved it. A keeper!!

To me this soup tastes good but I find it very thin. I have even seen a recipe using 1 qt of water. Does anyone have an opinion on this? 6 cups equal 48 oz,,,right? rkidwell just uses 3 cups liquid ?

I used 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of water. It was absolutely delicious. I only got about 3 -4 nice servings from the recipe. It seemed to be the right consistency. Other than that, this is a really great, tasty soup.

It's a light starter soup, so if you're going for more courses this is an excellent way to start it off. I followed the recipe to a T, and it serves at least 6-8 people. It doesn't have an overly complex flavor, so you can transition into other dishes. I also cooked Ina Garten's famous fennel and potato gratin. I thought it would be too much to have two potato dishes, but with this soup you get an equal leek flavor. Light sour cream in it keeps the soup from being too heavy on your stomach

This soup is AMAZING! I left off the creme fraiche and chives to top it off just because I couldn't find creme fraiche. When I moved to Africa, I had to find a new arsenal of recipes with ingredients that I could find. This was wonderful! Thanks so much Julia Child. She never fails to impress!

This recipe is awesome! It is so easy to make. I did substitute the water for vegetable stock but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. It is very simple and very delicious! Highly recommended as it is vegetarian friendly and gluten free.

Very tasty, but next time I think I'm going to boil the vegetables in chicken stock. I like my cream soup a little more rich. Also - good with cheddar cheese for a topping.

Beautifully simple recipe. My husband wasn't sure he'd like it. He couldn't stop raving about it. One thing I changed was that I had the vegies ready too early so I sprinkled pepper and salt on them for about half an hour before starting the cooking.
