I'm in Ina heaven right now! Two nights in a row making two of her recipes for the first time, both were definite hits! I made this exact to the recipe with the exception of not making the onions for the top and I made my own creme fraiche instead of buying it (did a web search on how to make, and it was so easy. Delicious soup!! It hit the spot. Another keeper!

This is probably the best soup ever! Made it with homemade chicken stock (Ina's recipe and thought it definitely made it more flavorful. A definite make again. Loved the crispy shallots on top. A real hit!

I loved it. Made it pretty much as instructed (a touch less creme fraiche, and now I feel confident enough to make changes. Yes, it is a milder flavor but there is a nice balance of flavors. Which is way the soup is so delicious and elegant. Plus, it's such a simple and versatile recipe that i can just have fun with it next time I'll make it. I gave this recipe five stars, but i have to admit, it felt a little labor intensive (even though it's in the oven for the most part... still, prepping, tossing every 10 min, cleaning... Bottom line, give it a try, you can't mess this up.

I LOVE this recipe! The flavors are great and well developed. I used an immersion blender instead of a food processor and it worked just as well (and was easier except some of the arugula got stuck on it. Next time I'm going to take the stems off. I used a dry chardonnay for the wine and it was perfect. I made a half recipe because there's just two of us and it's easily enough for 4-5 people. Definitely a new favorite in our house!

Yummy. Very easy and quick to make. Having been told lower my cholesterol, I substituted fat-free half 'n half and fat-free Greek yogurt for the cream and creme fraiche.

The next time I make it, I think I'll add little fresh rosemary to the roasting pan. It could use a little flavor punch.

De-LISH! Made with cream cheese (1/2 pkg instead of creme fraiche and extra chicken stock in place of white wine. The flavor's abundant and there was plenty for a family of four. Make sure you have extra stock, though, because the next day it gets thicker and a little stock added can make it the right consistency. Crispy shallots and Parmesan cheese...you can't go wrong on this one! Enjoy!

Ok, I am glad I didn't write this review after first tasting it. I agree with others that it was bland. But after letting it simmer for an hour, I sprinkled in a little Cajun seasoning and added two bay leaves. I served myself up a small bowl immediately (before the bay leaves could do anything and realized it had developed a very good flavor. I let it simmer for several hours, periodically adding some more chicken broth. It was delicious. I like it very much. The husband really liked it too. I served it to the kids without explaining what it was. They ate it all and served themselves seconds. I had planned to make the onions but it didn't happen. Next time.

I watched the episode on TV the other day and was intrigued as soon as Ina said she was taking a classic soup and giving it an upgrade. Last month I decided to do the same thing with my classic potato soup, roasting the vegetables first. I thought this would give the soup more depth of flavor. It sure did and I have made it this way several times since. With this recipe I did not have Yukon gold potatoes, only new red potatoes. Did not have arugula, only flat leaf parsley. Did not have creme fresh. Other than that I followed the instructions and really enjoyed the flavor as well as the texture of the soup. I hadn't thought of adding wine to my soup before. It wasn't overpowering, just enough to add another layer of flavor. I will be making this again, (perhaps with all the original ingredients adding it to my winter soup rotation. Thanks Ina!!

I usually love Ina's recipes but not this one. I followed the recipe exactly; the flavor was ok, but it was very mild and I couldn't get the potato and leeks to smooth out, so I had a grainy and chunky soup. I even went back to re check the recipe to see if I had left anything out.
For the money that I spent on the ingredients and the amount of time it took to make this soup, I have to say that I was disappointed and won't be making this recipe again.

Absolutely Superb! I substituted just the green part of green onions (1 cup for the arugula, used cream cheese instead of creme fraiche, used light cream instead of heavy cream, added thyme,and 2 small bay leafs. I made my soup just a little more smooth. Turned out fantastic! Oh, and I don't drink alcohol, so I added 1/2 cup of chicken stock instead for that part of the recipe.
