Yummy! I only had about 2 pounds of red potatoes- so quartered those, cooked in 4 cups of chicken broth. I added a sliced carrot due to another review. My leeks didn't have big bulbs, but I used two about four inches long, sauteed in half the butter called for and had no white wine so used sherry. I blended it all using an immersible blender (best $30 ever spent!). I served it with Cheese Biscuits. It was a hit, thanks! My four year old loved every bite.

Delicious, creamy comfort food. I doubled the leeks for a stronger flavor. And added lots of extra stock so it was more like a thick soup than mashed potatoes.

Good recipe. I made some changes though, and would change it if/when i make it again. I only had 2.5 pounds of potatoes, so i added 2 whole carrots and 2 celery stalks. I used veggie broth. Also, I believe potato skins are healthy, but worried it would affect the consistency, so i only peeled half the skins. (couldn't even tell!) I used vegetable broth and black pepper (what I had). I only had 1 leek, and I used most of it, and I used a little olive oil instead of butter-worried it was too much. Also used cooking sherry as the wine. The soup was good. Next time i would leave all skins on, use carrots, but limit it to 1 stalk of celery, if any. (too celery tasting) I would get more leeks! I would try chicken broth if on hand. I will buy white pepper for my spice rack. I would use more olive oil to saute leeks for more flavor. I would do this again, it was so easy and quick.

Easy and tasty. I didn't weigh the potatoes and likely used more like 2-3 lbs. so the proportion of leeks to potatoes was slightly different than in the recipe. Very yummy. No need for salt and pepper. Was very flavourful as it was.

Yummy! I didn't have any white wine, so I just added water. It was very thick so I just kept adding liquid until I got the consistency I wanted. I used more leek than called for and less butter, but it was still yummy. I also used an immersion blender (hand stick kind) so I didn't have to mess around with taking anything out. I just put it all together and blended. Thanks!

Loved it! Substituted olive oil for butter and added some smoked salmon at the end. No processor, so riced the potatoes. It was a great hit!

I LOVED this dairy-free version of potato leek soup. Since I had no white wine, I used red and that worked out well. Instead of blending them, I mashed the potatoes in the pot with a potato masher. I ended up also mixing some beet greens and kale that I had previously sauteed on the side, and they went very well in the soup.

This is a great creamy potato soup without the calories and fat of cream or half & half. I basically followed the recipe as written except I didn't peel the potatoes. It turned out great! I used homemade broth and a little water when boiling the potatoes. I used about 3 tsp of sea salt and black pepper because I don't like white pepper. Very tasty and will definitely be made again!

I used half the amount of potatoes and still needed all six cups of broth. If I make it again I will only puree part of the potatoes and dice the rest. Good flaver tho.

I used this recipe as a guide and it worked well. My fiance refuses to eat soup if it doesn't have meat in it, so i added some crumbled chorizo sausage. I didn't have any wine so i skipped it. Other than that i stayed true to the recipe.

This recipe gives a lovely thick soup. I think it is much easier to make using a stick blender (Bamix) than using a blender.

Great recipe! I love the flavor! Since my 2 year old's favorite part of soup is the chunks of potato, I didn't wiz it up, and it turned out great, still with the smooth, thick texture. I added the leeks to the potatos as soon as they were sauted, and let them cook down further with the soup. I will make this again and again!

This soup turned out great in spite of the fact that I didn't plan well and ended up using a lot of substitutions! I figured I'd leave a comment, though, to say that you can substitute cooking sherry for the wine if you find out at the last minute that it's been finished without you knowing it. (all is not lost!) Another substitution for white wine which I found on the Internet is the same amount of apple juice and a half teaspoon white vinegar. In any case, the soup turned out great and I'll probably try a variation closer to this recipe next time when I'm better organized...

Delicious and so easy. I agree with other reviewers though, it's very thick. Next time I will cut down on potatoes or add more stock. I also added a tablespoon of white balsamic vinegar for a bit of tang.

My first time cooking with leeks and it turned out great. Awesome recipe! I added a bit more stock to thin it a bit, and a bit of leftover cooked chicken too, and it worked out great.
