This was delicious! I used half goat's milk and also sautéed some mushrooms and put them in after the boiling stage (but it would have been just as delicious without the mushrooms, I'm sure). I agree with whoever said that fresh potatoes might be a bit better because flakes are ever-so-slight grainy, but it's so much easier this way. I can't wait to get home tonight and polish off all the leftovers. yum yum yum!

I like this recipe, but usually add a clove or two of garlic, and in addition to the potato flakes (which add both creaminess and flavor), I also add a 'real' (pre-cooked and diced) potato or two to add some chunkiness.

I must have read the directions 3 times, wrote them down, re read them, and then proceeded with the soup. I ended up with a pot full of leeks, onions, potato flakes, and curdled milk chunks. (the milk was not bad beforehand I checked). I don't know what happened but I will not be trying this again, and am sadly disappointed with wasting my money on ingredients for something I can't eat. sorry.

I love leek soup. I added about 2 cups of leeks and I added frozen hash browns instead of the potatoe flakes. I also used some cream I needed to use to make up the 4 cups of milk. Everyone loved it.

We really liked this- there was none left at the end of the meal! I used 1 leek, 1 can of chicken broth, & 2 t. dried parsley. Easy, quick, & economical! Thanks Ruth!

Wonderful flavor. Used a scallion/onion mixture to get a little garlic flavor. Although the texture is a little grainy because of the potato flakes, this is would be very adaptable to home dried potatoes or even left over mashed potatoes. Excellent for a lower fat version of a great comfort food.

This recipe could not get much easier. I made for my husband and he LOVED it! I can't wait to make it again. Just be sure to clean your leeks throughly as they like to hold dirt!
