I made this soup last night, it was very tasty. My husband loved it and I will be making it again. Cheap and easy to make, I added Celery and Carrots as I had no Leeks. :-)

Loved this recipe. Super easy to make, lower calorie than ones that call for a TON of butter and cream. Added carrots, celery, and ham for some additional flavor. Yummmm!

I added 3/4 cup of celery. Used skim milk and smart balance light to make this more low cal. IT IS GREAT!

I am making this soup right now, but I am changing the ingredients a little - I added some zuchinni and ham.

This recipe is very good! We've tried some of the more difficult recipes but this one is every bit as good and so much easier to make. We use a hand blender to blend it right in the pot. Couldn't be easier to make!

Super delicious and filling without being heavy. I also like that it's fairly light. I used 2 tbsp butter and 1 cup of skim milk and I don't feel like I was cheated at all. It was pretty great. Also, I don't own a blender so I just cooked the bejesus out of the potatoes and took a masher to them. And they leave over beautifully.

Was very good! I doubled this recipe and used cream instead of milk (had some I had to use up) and it was delish! Added some croutons on top. Used a masher instead of blending. Does anyone know if this can be frozen?

Tried this soup and the whole family loved it. I have some picky eaters and it was a hit!! I served with garlic bread to dip.

Excellent recipe! I added a couple of carrots and celery stalks with the onion & leeks. Easy to make. I also liked that it tasted light, not heavy. Delicious!

 Marlene (New York) says:
This soup was yummy. Instead of butter I used olive oil and skim milk instead of low fat. Oddly enough, however, the butter taste was not missed as the leeks emit a buttery flavor anyway. This was very easy to make and will likely made it again.

Very pleasant, I added chopped celery and 1 1/2 tsp of garam masala (an Indian spice) then served it with a dollop of sour cream and chopped chives... We had bruscetta bread as a side. Definitely a keeper!

I've done this one a few times now and my only change is to put all of the liquid into the blender (plus a raw egg) but only half the lumpy bits.

Put it all back together and heat it through and it serves lovely and bubbly with plenty to chew on as you eat it.

Thanks Carla, it's beaut.
