I compare this soup to Connelly's Irish Pub in NYC and it was even better, and so simple
to make!

This leek and potato soup was absolutely brilliant, all family enjoyed it so much that
they asked 4 seconds. It was very easy 2 make, tried soup with part
baked bakery bread, just bake it for 8-10 mins, delicious.

I have made this soup today. I have made leek and potato soup before, but this one is by
far the easiest, and what makes it even better, I can have as much as I want of it minus
the cream and milk on my diet! Thank you.

Excellent - I made this leek and potato soup using our own leeks fresh from the garden
and added some chicken breast. No packets or tins any more!

Doesn't get much easier than this. I also tried it with some chilli peppers ( dried )
then pureed it-yummy.

Followed your leek and potato soup recipe without the garlic (because I didn't have one)
and it was still delicious. Lovely. Thank you. Trying mushroom next!!!

Tried the leek and potato soup recipe today with a little twist. Added some smoked
bacon, onion and mushrooms. Tasted fantastic - even got my kids to have some and they
don't do soup. Thank you so much

I made this soup for my partner and she loved it. I added some mixed dry Chillies and it
gave the soup a nice mellow bite to it.

I made it with home made Duck stock and my good lady said it was the best soup she had
ever tasted. She's been working in hotels for over 10 years so....!!

I thought a 1/4 of a teaspoon of pepper would be too much! NO it wasn't, this soup is
delicious. I served it with garlic bread & will certainly be cooking it again.

I just finished making this leek and potato soup. I blended it at the end which topped
it off, pretty good for a student eh! Thank you!!!!! I added a tad more salt as well, it
was only missing a bit!

From: Joanna

I make mine with very creamy milk and no water but still using about 3-4 chicken stock
cubes and also add a little grated nutmeg as this helps to bring the flavour out. Garlic
is too strong for this recipe and kills the delicate flavour of the leeks so I leave
this out.

It's simmering on the stove right now, and smells delicious. Because I can't leave a
recipe alone, I added half a chopped onion (I'm an onion lover). Just the thing for a
bleak Sunday in January!

Snowed in so what better way to spend the morning with the kids making easy soup with

too. Added some bacon at the beginning which made it even more tasty.

Fantastic, easy to make and so so tasty, I'm useless at cooking and I even forgot to
add the cream but never noticed till I'd eaten my first bowl. Probably because the
potatoes were so creamy after following your instructions. No salt in there either
because I used stock cubes so pretty healthy too.

Message: Am making this recipe for the second time this month as it was a big hit the
first time around and perfect for the awful cold and wet weather we've had all month!
Today I am going to fry up some lardons first, remove from pan and save to add back at
the end. Then saute the leeks with butter in the same same pan to get some of that nice
bacon flavour into the mix. Scrummy!

This is such a lovely soup, a classic. I never peel my potatoes for it. If you
blend/mash it up at the end, you can't tell, get extra nutrients and less waste, a
result!

Really enjoyed this leek and potato soup, tasty and cheap. I blended it as I prefer a
smooth soup and it froze very well. Give it a try, it won't disappoint.

Just soo delicious! Today is the first time in attempting to make potato n leek soup.!
Followed the instructions which were soo easy and I used fresh cream instead of milk. My
3 and a half year old loved it and she's fussy normally and my 16 and a half month old
son had an adult portion. Waiting on my husband to come home from work and my mum to
give their verdict! First time i have come across your site and i think it's really user
friendly and my next attempt is to make a ginger bread man with my daughter...she's been
nagging for a long time. Thanks for your recipe and this wonderful site.

Just finished my leek n tatty soup...quite impressed as
this is the first time I've had a go at it. I did however use 5 leeks from the allotment
and just had to add extra ingredients along the way, 5 big spuds and a little extra
garlic n pepper. I did think though the end result was a little lumpy, so I put the
whole lot through a blender and
whizzed the lot up (I do the same with my courgette soup). This made for a much better
looking and tasting soup and the soup still had a little crunch from all the small bits
of leek in. So just gunna freeze it up
ready for Christmas. Then ill reheat and either add a dash of cream or try a little
grated hard cheese over the top....... That's all folks........

Pat, if you had read the description properly, they do say that although it does
look like celery, it isn't. It's not confusing for anyone apart from you providing they
read it properly :) I have used this recipe for a while now, and even my kids love it,
who are very picky eaters :) Thank you for a great recipe :)

Just looked a your recipe for leek
and potato soup. Recipe reads OK but the vegetable being chopped and pictured looks more
like celery than leeks. Just commenting, it might confuse some people as to thinking
there is celery in the soup which would not make a good leek and potato soup. Sincerely
PAT

Just found this recipe today. I had all ingredients in the house except leeks. I used
a whole bundle of green onions instead. Very Good. Family loved it, and I will make it
a lot this winter.

Am I ever glad to have found your site today! My hubby and I have just enjoyed the soup
made per your instructions with minor modifications. On the other side of the Pond here,
it's a major national holiday - Thanksgiving Day. It's about the feast whose
participants were English pilgrims and their aboriginal friends. Since we are not
feeling well, and are possibly contagious, we could not join others as planned today.
There's no traditional turkey in our house, but I happened to have leeks and large
potatoes. The soup was perfect for the rainy day we are experiencing. The
modifications were that I chopped the leeks in a processor and shredded the potatoes in
that machine (I have an injured right wrist.) We love garlic and red pepper, so I threw
a little in, as well as some sliced portabella mushrooms that needed to be used soon.
Since I prepared a huge pot, I added the evaporated milk to our individual bowls,
thinking that I would surely freeze the rest, but now I realize that it will not be
necessary to find room in the freezer! We will not
forget what we ate on this Thanksgving Day! TYVM!
