Really good and easy! I used ramp (wild leeks) and half of the broth was vegetable stock I had 'left-over' from another recipe...Garnished with bacon, scallions, and cheese. YUM! Thanks Ashley!

Simple delicious and buttery in flavor. Use while milk if you can to really get it right.

I used a couple different kinds of potatoes cause that's what I had, but this was amazing! This was my first time making potato soup and I've never had leeks so I was a little weary, but so worth it!! I added bacon bits which only made this better!!

This is one of my favorite soups. Even my four and five year old eat it. I follow the recipe as listed and it tastes fantastic, I sometimes add a little white wine when I have it on hand.

We love this soup! I make it with a few changes though... I like the flavor of the skin (plus it's added nutrients) so I chop the potatoes to bite size pieces and go ahead boil them in the chicken or veggie stock until they're tender. I then add the sauteed leeks. I also add fresh garlic and a bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick plus whatever other spices I'm in the mood for. I also think it's best to let people add the milk themselves once served.

Don't know what went wrong here but it was pretty watery with not a lot of taste even though I added a couple of minced garlic cloves and small minced onion. Will pick up some Yukon gold tomorrow and puree it into the soup to thicken it up.

My husband is a picky eater but he loved this soup! We added a pinch of tumeric to it, because it's his favourite spice.

Very yummy! For a one pot variation, cook your potatoes in a 3-4 qt stock pot, remove them and drain. Then cook some bacon in the same pot until crispy, remove the bacon and some of the grease. Add butter and leeks, then broth and potatoes. Put crumbled bacon on top when serving.
