Delicious. I used less potatoes and kept it (relatively) healthy by using 1% milk instead of something heavier. Will definitely make again. I wouldn't serve this with meat or something heavy - keep it light with a salad and some crusty bread.

so....my boyfriend think it deserves 3 stars instead.... he thinks it lacks spices....and wants to add a tsp of sour cream and bacon bits- per each bowl. thats him. but for me..... i made it without much milk at all....just a bit at the end. i used a bit of chardonay in the broth....and i used 4 leeks- i love leeks. overall i really dug this soup, and ill totally make more. yum.

I boiled peeled and cubed yukon gold potatoes in the chicken broth enhanced with garlic instead of using smaller potatoes and extra steps. The soup made a very filling meal.

Very bland even with adding the bacon. Basically this is a runny potato soup. If you are going to try this, I would recommend cutting up the potatoes and then cooking to allow proper consistency.

Very good soup to start with - then we added crisp turkey bacon, peppercorn seasoning, nutmeg & some garlic salt. OH YUMMY it was good!

Awesome flavor and texture. This doesn't need fancy spices and a lot of complicated steps; it's easy and delicious. However, if you want to add extra spices, I found that mustard powder, garlic, and/or a sprinkle of nutmeg worked well with the potato and leek flavors. We also ate it with a toasted piece of sourdough bread (yum!) I'd also suggest adding the milk directly into the bowl. That way each person can control the soup's consistency to their preference, and I didn't have to worry that the soup had milk in it that might spoil if I left it out for a couple hours or if it took more than a week to finish (which it did). I think we used more potatoes than were called for; we didn't have red potatoes so we had to guess but we used up the last of our baking potatoes (6 of them). It made enough for 2 people to eat for a week.

This recipe was quite easy to make. I substituted Yukon Gold Potatoes for colour and a dash of cumin to kick in some flavour. Although its been rated as boring, I think you're best to season it to your own taste. Get creative, not critical!

I made it as directed, and it was a bit bland. Then I tried the suggestion that it "can be made even better with the addition of crumbled bacon". It sure can!

I added a cut up ham steak and one of the cans of broth I used was garlic-flavored. It added a lot of flavor. I'd recommend adding garlic either when you saute the leeks or using garlic broth for extra flavor. Excellent soup, and filling!

Very tasty. Unfortunately my kids didn't appreciate it as much. My husband loved it and so did I. Hit the spot on a cold, winter day.

For veggies & vegans, you can do this quite well using veggie broth for the chicken & subbing soy milk.
