Fabulous! The ingredients are so ordinary, but they come together to make an extraordinary, thick creamy soup. I made this just as written, using fat free half and half for the milk. I pureed it and lleft about 1 cup unpureed just for a little texture. Loved the velvet-like texture. Thanx for sharing! -
I followed the recipe but I didn't process till smooth, as we like it like that, but it was still very creamy, a very nice soup lovley now that leek's are in season. I will make this again, it's the kind of soup that you just love on a cold day for lunch with some nice bread. Made for PAC Fall 09 -
I sauteed the leeks and onion until soft, added potatoes and the stock, simmered until done. In a frypan I carmelized some of the leeks in butter and after blending the mixture I added it to the soup to enhance the flavour. A nice creamy, mild tasting soup.

Hi, I live in Dublin, Ireland, I'm married with two children, a seven year old (very fussy eater) and a two year old (who eats anything!). I'm a stay at home mum and I love to cook and bake when I have the time. I have a major sweet tooth!
