found this to be extremely bland not a very good consistency

I found this recipe to be very bland as is, but the lack of cream was appealing enough to perservere to find a remedy. The addition of a large onion (chopped), few stalks of celery (chopped), 2 cloves of garlic minced, and a finely minced large carrot sauteed with the leeks was a big help. To cut down on the starchy-ness, I boiled the potatoes in water, drained, then poured the chicken broth over potatoes before puree-ing in the blender. Needs lots of salt (2 tsp).

My "soup" had the consistancy of mashed potatoes. I added a pint of half & half and a cup of skim milk, which made it edible. But, in addition, thought it needed something like celery for taste...

The soup's consistency was a lot thicker than other potato leek soups I've eaten--in spite of my adding an additional cup of low-sodium chicken broth, and about 3/4 cup of white wine. I also tripled the amount of white pepper, and added plenty of salt and garlic powder to add flavor--the soup was way too bland for my taste even after my seasoning. I also think that if I make this again I would use double the amount of leek bulb, or as another reviewer did, use the entire leek. The preparation time was more than I would have wanted. I may try the soup again making all the above changes, or may just try another recipe.

To me this is what Potato Leek soup should taste like. I use the entire leek though and I cooked everything in one pot. When the potatoes were done, I blended the whole thing in the blender. Awesome!

Excellent, I followed your recipe exactly, I just made a little more than the recipe was for - and it was great! I usually make it with heavy cream or milk, but with this recipe, you don't need it and you definitely don't miss it. This will be the recipe I use from now on. Thanks for sharing.

This recipe was simple and very delicious. The things I changed: I added half and half and a little 2% milk. I added a little garlic powder too. Instead of the white wine, I splashed it with some red wine vinegar. I also used vegetable broth instead of chicken. Huge hit. Will def make again.

I'm new to the kitchen...and this recipe was easy to follow and yummy! I mashed the potatoes with a fork...the lumpy version of the soup tastes great too!

I made this for my Mom & Dad and they really enjoyed it. I've fixed it twice now and it's been great each time.

The taste is delicious but the consistency was a little off and unsoup like. May have just been me!

I took some other people's suggestions and added a cup of milk, plus a full cup of wine with the leeks and an extra cup of chicken broth with the potatoes. I also mashed them to leave some chunks. I added 3 cloves of roasted garlic. It was quite good, though I found it a little on the bland side and had to add quite a bit of salt when serving. (And I'm not one to add much salt to anything). Thanks for the recipe!

This is quite a good recipe- especially for those of us out there with a dairy sensitivity- I loved it the way the recipe read, and it got even better when I added some crumbled spicy sausage. And SO EASY!!

The wine gives it something extra and different. I prefer milk in my potato soup but this was worth a try.

I have made this several times and love it every time. I made it for a SuperBowl party one year on a snowy day and everyone raved- also good for vegetarian friends since you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I do serve it with shredded cheddar, bacon bits, and green onions so guests can garnish as they desire. Great recipe!

I felt this was too starchy . Next time I would discard the potato cooking water and add broth. Cooking the potatoes and using the water just made it too slimy. aMaybe it was the type potato I used however(russet). Disappointing.

Excellent Recipe. I used cilantro, emeril seasoning, garlic , carrot and a 2 cups of chardonay. I will use more leek next time :0 Thanks for the recipe!

I have made this soup a couple of times and it always turns out great.

wow! this is what a good potato leek soup it supost to taste like! this soup was great! I am a very picky eater and i really like this soup.

It turned out great, and I didn't have to use cream!

This recipe was a really great start! I only put 2lbs of potatoes, added a carrot, stalk of celery, a parsnip and let it boil. When soft I mashed it all. Then I sauted the leeks in butter and added a little bit of flour. When that was soft I added it to the vegetables and broth. YUMMY!!
