This soup is delicious and filling, a meal by itself. I used whole milk instead of cream and a 1.5lb bag of French Fingerling potatoes (with skins)...YUM! Leftovers (if there are any!) need a little bit of milk because the soup gets pretty thick in the fridge. I will definitely make this one again!

This was the first time I've use leeks and was plesantly surprised how tasty they are. Next time I'll use one more leek and a few more potatoes. One suggestion.... When you dice up the potatoes make the pieces fairly small (bite size).

My husband and I absolutely loved this soup. I did substitute fat free half and half for the cream though, it was still great.

I'm currently making this for the second time. Last time it was supposed to be an appetizer and it ended up being the entire dinner! (with French Bread - the recipe for 4 was all gone - and there's only 2 of us!) I did use milk instead of cream (didn't have any)I do recommend using more leeks than called for and rather than using a "masher", use one of those immersion blenders for a "smoother" consistency. BTW: If you find the soup to thick, just add more milk.

This recipe was super easy to make. I found it velvety and rich. Although the soup was more like mashed potatoes and needed a little pick me up (pepper or a shot of hot sauce)my family and I really enjoyed this soup. No need to add so many potatoes unless you are going to use milk instead of the heavy cream. I also would recommed using three leeks. We will definately use this recipe again. Thanks so much for sharing!

I make this recipe so often, that I just realized I forgot to come back and rate it. This is simplicity at it's best, but tastes like gourmet!! I LOVE this recipe with some fresh scones!! Just the perfect meal to warm your bones on a cold winter day!!

This was my first time to make potato and leek soup and this recipe was SUPER easy. I did use whole milk instead of the cream and added some salt, pepper, and garlic. I loved this soup and it was great for a rainy, cold day. Thanks so much for a quick, easy, and delicious soup!

Thanks for the recipe I used whole milk still came out thick, so thick that when my husband got home from the gym and warmed it up in the micro it turned out like mashed potatos. This was the first time I ever worked with leeks it was super easy and tasty, made my whole kitchen smell divine.

So simple and so good. Imagine spending Christmas day at Epcot, Disney World in the pouring rain. Now imagine sitting in their English pub eating this delicious soup. It warmed us up for the rest of the day. This recipe was exact. My whole family loved it.

Really tasty soup. So easy to make, too. Used veggie broth instead of chicken and 1% milk instead of cream and it still ended up delicious. Super thick -- even using fewer potatoes and some more milk than the recipe called for. I'd say 4 medium-to-large or 5 small-to-medium, but 6 potatoes would have been way too many for what I made.

Good recipe, however, I made a few changes. After slicing I put three chopped leeks and an onion thru my food processor and then sauted in butter (not margarine). I then added only four potatos which I cubed. While that was happening, I made a roux and added it to the mixture. The broth came next. After the potatoes were tender, I whirled them in the food processor to give the soup a velvety consistancy. Once back in the pot, I then added fat free half and half and topped with chives and crumbled bacon. Wonderful soup and thanks so much for a GREAT start Michele!

The soup had a great consistency but I found it to be a bit bland. I added sea salt, fresh ground pepper and dill which helped a lot though.
