Wonderful recipe! I added a little bacon and a mixture of half & half/ 2% milk instead of the whipping cream. My oldest son (19 years old)who doesn't eat onions had two bowls...

I did not like the texture of this soup. I had to add an extra can of broth to make it work. It tasted OK when topped with crispy onions. I used the cream and it was a bit cloying. I will try with milk next time. Also added a lot of seasoning and an onion.

I made this and it was great and easy to do. My boyfriend and my very picky 8 year old both really loved it. the bacon grease is a must! I threw it all in the crockpot for a few hours and it got even better.

This was good, but I was looking for an AWESOME recipe and thought this was a little bland. I added some bacon, onion, cheddar cheese, and pepper to make it more flavorful. Next time, I think I'd try a recipe for baked potato soup instead.

Such an amazing soup. I used 4 potatoes, and 1 big white onion. put them in the boiling water until the potatoes were really soft, then pureed them, put them back in the pot, and added the sauteed leeks. just amazing....my husband was amazed with the taste and the combo of tastes. the onion does a very nice change to it. a keeeeeeper...

Very good and extremely easy! I used 5 potatoes, 3 leeks and butter rather than margarine. I couldn't fathom not using cream... any excuse for me to use cream I take. We eat so healthy in my family we need a little extra now and then.

I followed the recipe and ended up having to puree the entire thing because it didn't look that appetizing at all. I definitely suggest pureeing with about a tablespoon of salt.

Really good for when you don't have very many things about the house. I substitute milk and it still comes out lovely.

great start, but I changed it around just a bit. I used small yukon potatoes, veggie broth, irish cream butter, and half and half instead of margarine. I also added more salt and pepper as suggested, and a dash of garlic salt. Put some chives on top for color, and delish! Thanks for the pointers and getting me started.

This recipe is so easy and so good! My boyfriend adds chili powder or hot sauce, and I'm usually good with just adding salt and pepper. I tend to use more butter/margarine when cooking the leeks. Served with french bread makes for a perfect dinner!

This soup is fabulous, and so easy. Every time I make it, I taste it thinking it must need some spices or something, and am always shocked at how good it is. The only modification I make is to substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth since I'm a vegetarian. My husband (meat-eater) loves it too, but our two-year-old doesn't like potatoes, so he doesn't like it.

I used a quart of Chicken broth, added plenty of fresh ground pepper, and sauteed the leeks (I used 3) in clarified butter. I also only added 1 cup of heavy cream. Mashing some of the potatoes is a great idea!

This is a great tasting soup! I took the advice of previous reviewers, and I used 2 potatoes, which was plenty. The leeks were fantastic! Instead of using 1-1/2 cups of cream, which I felt would be too rich, I used 1/2 cup of cream and 1 cup of fat free milk, along with a lot of pepper and a fair amount of salt.
