The search for leek soup ends here. Tried quite a few, liked none but this is really good. Thank you for the recipe.

So yummy, so easy. I add half n half instead of cream to make it a little lighter in calories. Also add frozen peas to add more veggies!

Very easy and tasty. I substituted skim milk for half and half, and used Canadian bacon to cut down on the calories. Yummy!

I used smoked sausage links which I sauteed and sliced before adding in lieu of bacon. I sauteed the leek in the sausage dripping, used half and half and add'l broth rather than heavy cream and I did add white pepper and nutmeg which I really think added to the flavor of this soup. It turned out delicious. Maybe I would also like it just as well if I made it letter to letter per the recipe but I'm afraid the mad scientist in me took over.

This was so easy, and was very tasty, my potatoes were to big for my pot and I had to remove quite a few of them to fit the other ingredients, so make sure to use a really big pot.

So good. I think this is the first time I had and cooked leeks and it was a wonderful experience.

This was a very tasty soup. The only complaint I had was that the bacon ended up being soggy and soft. I like my bacon to be crisp, so next time I will just garnish the soup with crumbled bacon rather than blend it into the soup.

A very good, hearty soup. I added 2 large cloves of garlic (minced) to the leeks (sauteed them together) and used 1/2 pound bacon, as other reviewers had suggested. Next time, I might trying to substitute cream for milk, so that I won't have to worry as much about all the fat I am consuming. Will definitely make it again!

This quickly became a family favorite after the first time I made it. The recipe is outstanding as is, though I have to make a double batch for my large family! The people calling it bland.... well, their tastebuds must work differently than mine do, because there is nothing bland about this soup. Smoky bacon (key: get good bacon), hearty potato (standard russet is the best!), the yummy oniony flavor of the leeks....how is that bland? Plus, the salt from the bacon and broth means you do not need to season this at all! Perhaps some might like some black pepper. I do always mash most of the potatoes, as we like this creamy, but that is the only change I make. You could make this lighter with 1/2 and 1/2. But personally, I think any recipe that starts with bacon and ends with cream HAS to be a winner! ;-)

This recipe came out very bland and tasteless. I used whole milk instead of cream, but otherwise followed the recipe. Won't make this again!

Very good and easy to make. This one's a keeper!

This is a very simple, hearty, comfort-type of soup. We have made this several times. The only change we make is using ham insead of bacon. It is an excellent soup for using leftover holiday ham. Otherwise, we use the exact recipe and it is simply delicious!!

this was good but not great

YUMM! I used half of the bacon and fat free half and half and this soup was great!

So good!

This is a easy and delicious recipe. I omitted the bacon and sauteed the leeks in olive oil. The flavor of this soup is so wonderfully simple. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone!

Excellent. I lightened it up with 2% milk. 1/2 lb Low salt bacon and about 1 cup of cubed lean ham. This basic recipe easily accepts variations.

This is a keeper. I just realized I bought half-and-half for this, but forgot to put it in! It was still great. I reserved half the fried leeks, pureed everything with an immersion blender, then added the leeks and bacon. Also, i used turkey bacon.
