Only changes that I made was to add some roasted garlic. My family loves smooth cream soups and so I use my stick blender to it before serving. My husband added some leftover crumbed brown sugar bacon to garnish on night. I think we may have to make a batch of this along with the soup each time! YUMMY!

I love the simplicity of this recipe. I added a large clove of garlic, 2 Tbsp. cornstarch, 1/2 cup of non-hydrogenated margarine, 2 organic vegetable bouillons + 4 C water and used soy milk in place of the heavy cream. I also pureed half of the soup (it was SO creamy!) I served this with crusty Italian bread. It was delicious! Thank you Julie :)

Delicious simple soup. I used regular milk instead of the cream and it tasted great.

This was so delicious and hearty! I also decreased the amount of butter. Added a tablespoon of olive oil and added a dash of the following spices: parsley, basil and rosemary. Following another reviewer's advice, I also added two cloves of garlic (minced). Very tasty! Mixes well with ciabatta bread.

Way too much butter in the original recipe, for sure. And it could use a bit more seasoning. Great basic recipe to play around with, though -- thanks, Julie!

This is such a nice soup. Very simple and tasty. Didn't have cornstarch, and i halved the butter and cream, was still delicious. my boyfriend really liked the potato chunks (as opposed to pureed soups). perfect with fresh bread.

Not the recipe I was looking for but when I tried it, I could not leave it alone. I added ham the second time but I would not change the base recipe.

I made it with 3 leeks and 1/2 and 1/2 but didn't cut down on the butter. What was I thinking? Very, very rich. I also added rosemary, hot sauce and other spices. It was ok - but I don't think I'd make it again.

This soup was so amazing. I added some extra yellow onions, but I think it would have been amazing either way. Like others, I also added half the butter and half and half instead of heavy cream.

fantastic soup. reading advice by other reviewers: i added fresh, chopped garlic cloves (around 4 large ones) with the leeks. i also threw in cayenne when the leeks were almost cooked. after adding the broth: i sprinkled in some oregano. cut the cream by half, and substituted with milk. also, i added a little extra broth! super easy, and so delish...!

This soup is AMAZING! I've tried many Leek Potato Soup recipes and this one is definitely the best. I used half&half instead of heavy cream and put a couple cups into my magic bullet (blender/food processer) then added it back to the pot for a thicker texture.

I really enjoyed this soup! I think it is traditionally blended, but I liked it better with some bite. My fav part is the simplicity(even though I made a few changes). I added a clove of garlic and used half the butter and a smidge of bacon grease to saute the leeks. Also, since my husband thinks anything without meat in it is not worth eating (we're working on it :) ) I finely chopped and browned some canadian bacon to top his soup (tip: add a v small drizzle of EVOO and the CAbacon crisps right up) Very satisfying and delicious!

This... was... sensational!! I cup back the butter to only 1/4 cup and used 1 cup half & half and 1 cup 2% milk. It was super rich and thick. Oh, and I also ran it through my food processor at the end for a nice finish. A real keeper! Thanks!!

My 15 year old picky daughter always begs me to make this. Not a recipe for those on a diet, but wonderful on a chilly day. I make this for church gatherings and have passed the recipe on to others.

I loved this soup. I did change it up a little. I omitted the cornstarch and cream. I used only 1/2 the butter and when I added the broth, I grated in 1 clove of garlic. After simmering, I stuck my stick blender in the pot and made it creamy, without the cream. Delish!!

Great hearty soup. Added a leek and about 4 bulbs of green garlic to the sauté. All that butter is great for sautéing, but it's pretty excessive in the finished product. I skimmed quite a bit off the top using paper towels.

I've made this twice and loved each time. The only differance is that I thicken by adding 2 tbs flour to the leeks and butter before adding broth and use evaporated milk instead of heavy cream. Thanks for sharing!
