Like I saw in many reviews prior I cut the butter down to one stick, used half and half instead of cream, added some minced garlic, held off on adding any salt/pepper and salted to taste after it was blended together... perfect soup for a sore/agitated throat... ;)

Perfect for my house as well! This is very, very yummy. If you are reading this don't hesitate. I used 3 leeks and no butter as I felt the cream was enough in the calorie department. Thanks! Smiles from Australia(:

This was amazing. I used regular potatoes. Once the leeks were sauteed, I threw everything in a crock pot on low for about three or four hours. The last hour I put in half and half. I used a potato masher to mash my potatoes, because I like my leeks intact and I had a bad experience blending potato leek soup in the past. This could easily be thrown in the crock pot for the entire day and enjoyed when you get home from work, just make sure you pour the cream in when you get home.

I added ham but left all ingredients as is. It is a great soup to serve with fresh baked sourdough bread.

Delicious with (much) less cream and butter... this looked like a recipe for a heart attack, so I lowered the butter to 6 tablespoons and the cream to 1 cup of light cream, and cooked it. FYI, I used 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Delicious!!

Tasty! I've only just started cooking even after living alone for more than a year. For this recipe I cut the butter by a little less than half of what the recipe calls for. Also added some other herbs and instead of using cream, I used skim milk. It was really watery when it's supposed to be a creamy soup, so I threw everything into a blender and it came out really nice. The potatoes give it a creamy texture when blended so you don't need to add cream!

This was excellent. It was aslo quick and easy. I did use half & half instead of cream and added in smoked sausage. I also blended some of the potatos at the end to make it creamier. We will make this again.

Very bland! This needs more leeks as I couldn't taste them at all. I reduced the butter to only 2 tablespoons and added a stock cube (along with the liquid stock) to boost up the flavour. Needs plenty of salt & pepper.

This was so good! And reminded me of soup I've had in Ireland and not found at restaurants here in the states. However, I made some modifications to the recipe both on purpose and by accident. 1) Used more leeks, added some cloves of garlic 2) only had 1/3 of the broth it called for, so I used water in place 3) forgot to add the cream until very near the end, just heated it up again and served. Also, I had some other root vegetables hanging around, so my version had 2 parsnips and a sweet potato in it. The leeks and butter really contribute most of the flavor, though, regardless of other ingredients. I've read online that potato leek soup can be frozen, so I will try freezing some of the leftovers for a tasty dinner later on.

This has become a favorite at my house. I really didn't think I would be able to get my family to eat leeks, but the mellow flavor of this soup is perfect! I used less butter and substituted fat-free half/half because we're really health-conscious, and it still tasted sinfully rich!

So comforting on a cold day. This is delicious and I use evaporated milk for the heavy cream to reduce the fat. I have also made this once using plain milk for a thinner consistency which was still pretty good. This was a great way to use up the leaks I had frozen from the vegetable garden last summer. Thanks.

I used half the butter and half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Then added 2 extra leeks and 4 pressed cloves of garlic. Definitely needs a fair helping of salt and pepper to taste. But fantastic result, love this soup. Excellent with a crusty, chewy baguette.

This soup is delicious! We made a few changes: We used vegetable broth instead of chicken. Instead of cornstarch, used the same amount of all-purpose flour. Definitely needed some salt for taste at the end, but it was fantastic!
