Thanks for this recipe! I`ve never made Leek and Potato soup before so hopefully my siblings (6) and my mom will like this soup it`s very easy to make. I made my own Vegetable stock with celery,onions,carrots,basil,garlic,peppercorns,sea salt, and burdock vinegar i`s very tasty. thanks again for this easy recipe

well this was my first attempt at potato leek soup, I always have to add some to the mix so garlic and wine was added, I have to say it was very hardy and wonderful.
thanks Pam

Thanks for a great recipe! I added some carrots, used red potatoes instead and blended about 2/3 of it in the cuisinart before adding the cream. Love the smooth and chunky combination. Cheers!

This soup was easy to make and sooooo delicious!!!! My husband came back for seconds, so that was a very good sign. I followed the recipie as is but I did crumble some crispy cooked bacon on top at the end. Great soup! Loved it. Thank you.

I grew leeks this year with this recipe in mind. My mom used to make wonderful potato leek soup but I never got the recipe from her. So today I went out and harvested some of my leeks and made this. I do remember she used some hot curry in hers though so I added some in. The soup turned out beautifully and is even a pretty yellowish color. I think my mom would agree I did a good job. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

Wonderful recipe. I’m glad I found it on a day like today. COLD and beautiful. One of the first real fall days I have seen in 12 years! This is my first year back to NY after living in Ga for far too long.
I have to admit, I was terrified of chopping off a finger tip with tears in my eyes after reading your memory of your mother. Bless you for sharing.

I tried this soup earlier this year and liked it, but found it a bit too thin the first time (I posted a comment back then too). Just recently I gave it another try, made sure not to overdo the stock (and used stock with lots of flavour), and added less cream (only about 100 ml, or a bit under 1/2 cup). It was PERFECT!!! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this wonderful soup since then… I’m about to make it again!! Thank you for a wonderful, simple, beautiful recipe that will definitely be one of my standards from now on!
