Melt in your mouth soup! I left the skins on though (scrub them down first)

Amazing flavor - the bacon really accents the soup well. Will serve at dinner parties!

A very satisfying soup. Maybe not exciting... but it feels good.

Fantastic!! This has to be the easiest soup you could make and also the BEST! Since I have to have cheese with everything I eat,the only addition I made was some shredded Vermont white cheddar on top so it could slowly melt in. Once you make this soup, you are sure to be hooked.

This just didn't do it for me. I really like leeks, but not this recipe. I too tried to cut out some of the fat by using half and half and less bacon. My mom, however, liked it so I gave her the recipe.

This is a good meal for my fiance and I to make together, as he does all the frying and I chop everything and assemble the soup. We've made this several times, and it's very filling and tasty. Unless you're using very small potatoes, you won't need eight of them, we've used between 4 and 6, and blending about 1/2 the potatoes with a bit of the chicken stock. We also use milk instead of heavy cream and find it rich enough that way, adding cheddar cheese grated over each bowl.

This soup is great! I used only 6 small potatoes and 1 cup of half and half instead of heavy cream, both of which were good alterations.

This is the best potato soup I've ever had. What makes it taste even better, is the fact that there are so few ingredients creating such a marvelous flavor.

This was scrumptious, although I did add kielbasa to mine and did not make the bacon, i bought already cooked bacon and added. I sauteed my leeks in olive oil and also added garlic. mmm mmm good... I also pureed half of the potato mixture to make it a bit thicker and creamier. My boyfried devours it every time and I served it as a special lunch to my grandfather with sandwhiches. i recommend this recipe! excellente!

This was truly awesome! I made a couple changes because I didn't have heavy cream and my husband wanted me to put in some cubed turkey ham. I referred to my cookbook for substitutions and used 2/3 cup of whole milk and 1/3 cup of milk for the heavy cream. I also added maybe a 1/4 cup of half and half. I added the ham at the end just to warm it up. I will definitely make this again! It tasted even better the next day.

This is an absolutely delicious soup! I made it according to directions, with no alterations. It seems like it wouldn't be tasty because there are no spices added, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Execllent Soup!!! I made a few changes. I used 5 and 1/2 cups of water instead of 4. It was too thick. Also I didn't have bacon on hand so I fried the leeks in about 1 teaspoon of butter. Also added some pepper to it.
