The white wine adds such good flavor (I may have put in a couple of extra tsps. A bit entailed with the prep, but such a delicious soup. Perfect for a winter day!

It was a great soup! It was really good because we didn't add any wine. It makes it taste better. Even my picky little brother ate it.

I love this soup.. since I try to watch fat, I omitted the creme friache and used a little cream only. The soup was still superb. The arugula makes this dish not only tasty, but adds that color.

My kids (aged 3, 8 and 10 and husband ALL had at least two bowls of this. I didn't have leeks so I quartered a couple of onions. I didn't have creme fraiche or shallots so I skipped them. Fearing a "boring" outcome, I desperately added about a third of a cup of sour cream.
I did not make my own broth (Ina?! Seriously???!!! Who the hell has time for that???!. Also, per some of the earlier commenters I threw a couple of cloves of garlic in the pan 10 minutes before it was done. I DID use the arugula, even though I had very little faith that it would add anything to the recipe. I was wrong!! It was very, very good. I used my immersion blender for this as well, which did a great job. Restaurant perfect?? Probably not. Good enough for the likes of me?? Absolutely! :
I baked a few slices of ciabatta bread with grated parmesan cheese on it...that pretty much brought the house down. I would definitely make this again and am, as I type, mentally adding it to my rotation of crappy weather dishes.

Made this exactly as written and my friends are calling it their new favorite soup. Really delicious. Just sauteed the shallots in butter until crispy--fabulous.

This soup is outstanding. I did make a couple of minor changes though. I don't like arugula so I just left it out and I didn't have any creme fraiche so I used a cup of the heavy cream instead of just 3/4 cup and added 3 tablespoons of butter for richness. For the wine, I used a sauvignon blanc. YUMMY! I think roasting the vegetables is what gives this soup so much flavor. Ina, you rock!!

We made this soup once before, and we loved it! We made it a second time today, and it was even more delicious! The only changes we made were that we used more heavy whipping cream instead of creme fraiche, and we couldn't find leeks, so we used scallions and red onions.

I love french cooking. There is always so much to cook. I could not find creme fraiche so I made my own( you can look up a recipe for it.It was so good i even made it twice already, which is unusual for me.
