I found this recipe to be very good. Taking others advice, I cut down the butter to 1/2 cup. Also, I added a can of corn. Next time I think I will add more leeks and use even less butter. The recipe made about 5 bowls worth. I definitely recommend this recipe.

This was a delicious soup. I added garlic when cooking the leeks and a few more leeks than called for. I also blended the whole batch at the end for a creamy consistancy. I served with crushed black pepper and a dash of parmesan

Great simple recipe. I added a little garlic when my leeks were almost done and used vegetable broth instead of chicken. Also used whole milk. I added lots of pepper and pureed the whole thing in the blender.

Made this tonight and was very pleased. Added one large clove of garlic and 3 slices of chopped bacon. Halved the butter too. Will make again and again. Thanks for the great recipe.

This recipe was superb! Very delicious, I made a few alterations, the soup was a bit chunky after adding the potatos, before i added the cream i blended the soup for a rich smooth texture (in batches). I also added ham and some garlic powder. Simply marvelous! will warm u up on any chillly day!

We eat a lot of soup and I thought this was delicious. We added mushroom and I used regular Russett potatoes I had on hand. Also used more leeks than called for.

I made this soup over weekend. I cut the butter in half and used half and half as one of the other reviewers suggested, I also added carrots and cubed ham. The soup turned out wonderful. The whole family enjoyed the soup, especially my brother in law who says he normally hates potato soup! He ate it right up and said it was the best soup he had ever tasted and asked if he could take some home with him! Thanks for the great recipe.

I made this soup tonight and followed the recipe to the tee but took one reviewers advice and used 2% milk. When I checked on it a few minutes later the milk had totally curdled. What went wrong? The flavor is really good but I don't think I can feed it to my famiy. :( Okay...I saved it!! I put the soup in the blender and it turned out great! With some warm sourdough, my kids could'nt get enough!!

Great base recipe. I used homemade chicken stock (which already had sliced carrots, celery, & parsley), cut the butter in half, and used milk & half-n-half in place of the cream to cut fat. I added some garlic and tossed in some sliced cooked sausage, and voila! Perfection.

Made this for my daughter who is a fan of 'The Palm's' Potato leek soup and she ate the entire pot. Also followed user's suggestion who added shallot and garlic as well as wine toward the end of cooking the leeks. Oh - and also added some cayenne pepper (if you are looking for just a kick). Pureed the soup in a blender and it was really great!

Awesome soup! Mine did come out the same colour as in the photo - so to the reviewer who said hers was brown, I would suggest not letting your butter brown at the beginning. Use medium heat and add the leeks once the butter has melted halfway - don't wait for all the butter to melt first. I used 3 cups of half and half cream, 4 cups chicken broth, and a half cup of butter with the two leeks and it was perfect. Also added 1 tsp chopped garlic to leeks at the beginning. I will be making this again!

I LOVE this recipe. I do make some changes: I use half the butter and half and half instead of cream. I add garlic and onion (I like spring onion) or shallot while cooking the leeks. I don't usually put them in at the beginning but cut them while the leeks are cooking and add them as soon as I am done preparing them. I add some white wine towards the end of the 15 minutes of cooking the leeks and let it cook off. When I add the broth, I also add cayenne and ground mustard. Finally, I use one sweet potato along with any other potatoes I have on hand. I love the sweet flavor it adds. I also use my potato masher at the end to mush it all a little bit for a creamier soup.
