Great soup! I only had 3 leeks, so I made a smaller batch. Also used a bit more butter than called for and added some chopped carrots. So good!

This was relatively easy to make for cooking-novice me, and it tastes so good! I did the "lazy method" suggested by another user of browning the hamburger and onion in a large pot, draining, and then adding all other ingredients to the pot and cooking for 15-20 minutes. I had already made my own tomato sauce ahead of time (attempting to use up the last of my garden harvest for the year), so I wanted to make quick work of this recipe. I should also note that I made 6 servings instead of the 12 that the recipe is written for...halving the recipe still made plenty! I shared the finished product with three friends, and there's still a lot left over!
