For a lighter twist on this recipe: I omitted the cheese and added 1/2 a pound of steamed broccoli, run through the food processor. You could do the same with frozen broccoli thawed and chooped that way. Also, try sauteeing the potato and leeks in sherry, add the sherry about halfway through.

Got some leeks at the farmer's market and went searching for a recipe. Didn't make any changes except for some extra cheddar and it turned out great.

This is excellent! Very filling. I added a little more cheese (1 cup). Will make again for my soup loving family!

loved this! i made a few changes based on what i had - baked two potatoes and mashed them with garlic and herb boursin cheese. sauteed leeks and mushrooms together, added broth and seasonings, then added the mashed potato-cheese mixture and milk. yummy! will try this with cheddar, too, sometime...

Loved this recipe! I used Porcini Mushrooms (dried). I soaked them in hot water for about 10-15min while preparing rest of the soup. I saved the water(about 1 cup) from the mushrooms and added it to the chichen broth for more flavor. I only added the mushrooms after mashing the potatoes. I served this as a main course for dinner so was not 6 servings. Turned out to be 3 large bowls and 2 kid size bowls. Everyone loved it!

LOVE it! Of course I always use vegetable broth rather than chicken as I'm a vegetarian. This was very tasty and I will make it often.

This was a great recipe, I usually make major changes, but left this one virtually as is. I did add a stalk of celery (no celery salt) and used twice as much mushroom, but other then that GREAT!

This soup was very good. I can never find leeks in my local grocery store, so substituted 3 green onions (white part only). The soup had a wonderful flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

This soup is so good! My husband oohed and ahhhed even during his second helping. I didn't change a thing except add a bit of cayenne to spice it up.

This soup is awesome! I like how this recipe includes ingredients that I already have in my fridge. I made a few changes too - I left out the butter and substituted proscuitto for the mushrooms. Yum!
