I thought the thickness of the soup was fine, but I'm not a fan of super-thick soups, so that might be just me. If you're really concerned, don't add so much water with the potatoes. The biggest note I have is that I used pre-made bacon, so instead of starting the leeks and garlic in bacon grease, I used olive oil. I'm not sure the bacon really added anything to the soup, but that might be because of the lack of grease at the start. That said: if you want to leave out the bacon entirely, this would make a pretty good vegetarian soup.

It's good, but I agree with kiitieann...it's missing something and not thick enough. I think it's the 2 cups of water that ruins it. Perhaps that is an error, as water is not listed in the ingredients list, only in the procedure. I'll try making it again, but will leave out that added 2 cups of water.

This recipe was OK. It's missing something. I added a little grated parm and that helped. I think I would like it better if it were a little thicker. I blended all of it with my immersion blender, but it's still not as thick as I'd like. Overall, it's OK, but probably would not make again.
