This soup seems to have the right general idea but I found it a bit bland. I did alter the orignal recipe to keep from having a heart attack while eating the darn stuff. So I don't feel like I can honestly give it less than 4 stars. I used half the amount of bacon and replaced the heavy cream with equal parts of half and half and skim milk. I used about 1.5 pounds of yukon gold potatoes. I blended about half of the broth and potato mixture to thicken it up a bit. My soup loving daughter (that I made it for) said it was okay, just nothing special. I may give this one more try.

This is a great basic potato leek soup recipe. It definitely lends itself to additions and alterations but is great as is. I sauteed celery and garlic with the leeks and added scallions at the end, as well as a bit of pepper. My husband loved it! I will definitely serve this to family and friends.

This soup is really good! I didn't give it 5 stars b/c I made a few alterations so that it's healthier. Instead of using ham, I used turkey ham. Also I used 2% milk instead of heavy cream and skipped the grated cheese garnish. As I love garlic, I thru in 2 cloves into the leek saute.

This recipe was wonderful. I didn't use bacon, just half and half olive oil and butter to make up for the grease. I also added beet greens to the saute pan and they added wonderful color and more depth. I used chicken stock not broth. It was easy and delicious. I will be making it again. Also potato cubes should be about an inch to make cooking time right.

Wow. Perfect. I have made this 4 times, and every time is wonderful. I do tweak it just a little to my taste, by reducing the bacon by 1/2. I don't want to overpower the taste of the fried leeks. So delicious! Oh, and be sure to rinse your leeks VERY well. I made the mistake of giving them a quick rinse and got sand all in my fried leeks. I had to rinse them and wash off all the bacon-y goodness. =[

This was awesome! I did take another reviewer's advice and use a 1/2 pound of bacon; otherwise everything else was the same. Will make again.

i made this nearly exactly the way it was written (used fingerling potatoes sliced length-wise and half & half instead of cream) and it tasted good, but not great. i really wanted to fawn over this recipe, but it just lacked body and imho, needed a bit of acidity to balance it all out. so i took the advice of some other reviewers and blended a third of the soup so i could leave the integrity of most of the fingerlings intact and mixed the blended portion back in. then, i stirred in a tablespoon of worcestershire. and what once was good became great. even still, thanks for such an easy-to-prepare and versatile recipe!

It was okay. Good enough to finish the soup but it definitely needed cheese and bacon sprinkled when it was done.

Delicious soup! I followed the recipe except added water instead of heavy cream, for us lactose intolerant people. I also blended it all together, which made it a lovely green. Very flavorful, I will make this again!

I only gave it 4 stars since I didn't do it exactly as the recipe states. I omitted the bacon, added more leek, and more potatoes. I also added salt and pepper to taste. I loved it though and it's a wonderful soup for cold winter days. I'll be making this for a long time to come.

Super good! I followed someone else. I only use 4 large russets and put 6 cups of stock. That way it wasn't so thick when reheated. I also pureed half of the potatoes with the 1/2 & 1/2.
