My kids were very skeptical when they saw the leeks... They loved it! No leftovers they were practically licking the pot. They asked if I would make it again next week.

I made this soup using 10% cream instead of heavy cream. I added a scant 1/2 tsp of tapioca starch to the cream before stirring it into the soup just to give it a little extra body. Before adding the bacon, I used a stick blender to mash just a small amount of the potatoes--I don't know if the potatoes were supposed to break down or not--but mine didn't seem to want to---so I helped them along a little bit. My whole family really enjoyed the soup and found it both hearty and filling. I certainly appreciated the simplicity.

Wow...so rich and wonderful! I cut the bacon to 3/4 lb., didn't peel the potatoes and partially mashed them with the broth. The flavors are wonderful, especially with romano and fresh pepper on top. Due to the calorie and fat content, this will be an occasional treat, but what a treat! I made Irish Soda Bread to accompany.

This soup is great! Like others, I added some garlic and celery to the leeks, other than that, kept it as is. SO GOOD. Thank you!

My family loved this soup! I used 7 medium potatoes and added 1 garlic clove, 1 stock of celery, some green pepper to the ingredients. I used 3/4cup milk and 1/4 cup half and half cream. I did not puree the potatoes as I wanted it to remain a "clear" soup. Delicious!

This was great, I did make some changes however. Omitted the bacon and added carrots and great northern beans instead. I like bacon, I was just out of it and didn't feel like running to the store.

I liked the simplicity of this recipe, however, I did add some garlic, pepper and a touch of nutmeg. I found it too thick like some of the others did so I thinned it with both milk and extra chicken broth. Overall it was good.

This is the Best Homemade Potato Soup I have made yet...so simple, yet TASTY!. Instead of bacon I used Turkey Bacon, and fried two stalks of cut up celery with the Leek and added some pepper. I also cut corn off two husks and used 1 1/2 cups of 2% milk instead of cream. I then used Yukon potatos for a more creamier taste and a little bit of garlic salt. It was a family hit!!

Good basic recipe - to the leeks, I added ground black pepper, 2 cloves of garlic, a dash of marjoram, savory, celery salt, onion powder, thyme, and bay leaf. I used light cream instead of heavy cream, would probably be fine with just milk. Also pureed a couple cups of the potatoes for texture. Great soup.

This soup was delicious, and the leftovers were even better the next day. I used half the bacon (turkey bacon) and mashed some of the potatoes like someone suggested to make it a little thicker. I also used milk instead of cream. The flavors are very light and subtle. A little salt, pepper, and a dash of garlic powder also add a nice touch. Thanks!

I loved this recipe just as it is written but my husband thought it was too rich. I made it a second time and used whole milk instead of the cream which made the soup thinner but he raved about it then! Great soup either way.

This is a terrific soup. It is easy, the ingredients are readily available, and it tastes like heaven. I did not quite have enough cream, made up the difference with milk. I think I'll try this again with just milk and see how it turns out. I think if you mashed some of the potato and used milk you would get that creamy effect without the insane calorie count from the cream. Did I mention this soup also looks great? The chunks of potato, green leek and bacon look super. If you reserve a few leek circles when you are chopping, it makes a great garnish. Thanks!

I also looked at this recipe and thought.. "5 ingredients? No kidding!" But i'll be damned if this isn't the best Potato and Leek soup i've ever had! It was so simple and easy to make and took no time at all. I think it's the "basicness" of this recipe that is most appealing. Not much to mess up and the results are wonderful. I left the ingredients exactly as stated and didn't change anything. I was left with a sensationally robust chunky and very flavoursome soup. The only thing i MAY try next time is instead of cutting up all the bacon i'll just grab bacon bits. But it may detract from the presentation of the soup at the end. It's nice to see all those chunks of potato and bacon in it. My family AND neighbours loved it and i'll definately be making it again.
