Lovely soup rich with unique flavor. Many potato soups taste like a baked or mashed with add-ins, but this one is a category beyond. Subst. baby spinach for arugula as that was in my frig----Added only 1 tsp salt-----Short on chicken broth but quite liked the flavor and texture. Recommend adding enough stock to get good puree then the bulk into soup to your liking. If leeks are chopped to thin/small they wil burn. Use yukon gold to avoid gummy potatoes.

CAUTION-- when roasting the leeks:

Mine were 50% black at 30 minutes (roasted in preheated 400-degree non-convection oven.
Salvaged the dark brown ones for garnish.

Great recipe. Would you recommend any other cheeses that are adaptable for this recipe. I love bite but also love a nutty flavor.

Thanks

4 1/2 stars. Love this soup! I just posted it on my blog. I used the left over leek tops in a stock instead of throwing them out. I loved the texture the crispy shallots gave the dish, but a lot of them got burned-- even though I only fried them for 15 minutes on the lowest possible heat. Any suggestions on how to get those shallots perfectly crisp?

Fabulous - my go to "wow them" soup. I love you, Ina. Although I recommend making it 1/4 cup cream and 4 oz. creme fraiche. I add more wine instead (another quarter cup. It's so delicious you'll never miss it...it's a little fresher in my humble opinion too.

Excellent, but I must confess to omitting both the cream and creme fraiche (dietary restrictions. The potatoes made it thick and creamy. Added a little more wine and made sure it was cooked down. Used an immersion blender which worked perfectly. Ina has become my go to recioe finder.

Props to Ina. well done. All I can say is WOW! This simple but elegant soup is amazing! So easy and so good. It is going on our "I could have this once a week list". Don't change a thing it's perfect!!! I think that people who don't cook should not rate recipes. They just don't get it.

I normally love Ina's recipes but this one was not good at all. It took a lot of preparation which I am fine with if the result is good, but it was not. The soup was bland and gummy. I took care to puree it with enough liquid but it still turned out really gummy and starchy. I couldn't even eat it the soup was so bad. I used 2 lbs of potatoes, maybe it would have been better with less potatoes and more vegetables. I was really disappointed.

I made this even tho it seemed like alot of work for a soup. And 7 dishes and 2 hours later I was left with a soup that was very bland and looked kind of gross. I did everything EXACT and even made thoes crispy shallots ( they are the best part of the soup! I even made bacon to try to kick up the flavor...so in the end I used bacon crispy shallots and a ton of fresh pama...A good soup should not NEED that much stuff on top, let alone how many extra calories
