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

From: Barry Hudson 1 March 2010

Excellent leek and potato soup for today - St David's Day. No need to add anything to it. Cheers.

From: Delia 8 March 2010

Very easy to follow recipe and very tasty too. This is the second time I've done it and my family loves it! Thanks for sharing this healthy recipe with us!

From: Anas Adam 9 March 2010

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.

From: Fran Williams 10 March 2010

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.

From: Trisha 16 February 2010

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!

From: Sheila 17 February 2010

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

From: Julie 18 February 2010

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!!!

From: Antony Bright 22 February 2010

THIS WAS WONDERFUL, I MADE WITHOUT MILK OR CREAM, MY 13 YR OLD SON, WHO TELLS ME HE IS ALLERGIC TO VEGETABLES, ATE THE LOT, A MIRACLE CURE, HA HA.

From: Bob Broon 23 February 2010

Top marks a braw soup. A recipe well worth keeping. Many thanx.

From: Joanne 25 February 2010

I've never made soup before, how easy was your recipe to follow, brilliant & delicious. Thank you. I have just made tomato & basil just as easy & good. Thank you again.

From: Lyn 25 February 2010

Made the leek and potato soup for a dinner party ... and everyone remarked WHAT LOVELY SOUP, thank you.

From: Kevin Westwood 27 February 2010

I have never tasted anything so delicious, you made my evening, have put the rest in freezer for the next week, thank you very much.

From: Sadie 4 February 2010

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

From: Graeme 5 February 2010

Delicious. Even I could make it, that's how simple it was. Many Thanks.

From: Jacqui 5 February 2010

Just made this leek and potato soup and it is lovely. Thank you so muchxx.

From: Sadie 8 February 2010

Have never made soup before and this recipe is fab. I added a few extras like mushroom, onion and smoked bacon, my whole family ate it including my son who never touches soup as a rule so well done!!!!

From: Gerry Cook 10 February 2010

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.

From: Ralph Hemmi 24 January 2010

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....!!

From: Ann 24 January 2010

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.

From: Not Known 24 January 2010

This is so helpful thank you so much!

From: Laura 31 January 2010

I made this for school and it was really nice and simple and I got a good level. Thank you! I was unsure on the ingredients so this page particularly helped me on those :)

From: D K 1 February 2010

From: Esther 19 January 2010

1st time making home made soup, was a bit low on the cash after xmas and this was what I needed. It is  mmmmmmmmmmmmm delicious

From: Susan Smith 20 January 2010

I make this soup, it's so easy and the children love it.

From: Michelle 23 January 2010

Just made the leek and potato soup. It's delicious. Just hand blended it, texture is rich and smooth!! Can't believe how good it looks and tastes too.

From: Layla White 11 January 2010

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 14 January 2010

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.

From: Theresa 15 January 2010

Excellent, simple and tasty leek and potato soup recipe, thank you ! Made the soup yesterday and just finished it off for lunch with some crusty bread. Lovely !!

From: Alan 16 January 2010

Have never made soup before, found it to be so easy using your recipe, really enjoyed the result, so much cheaper and better than the tinned soups.

From: Lizabeth 17 January 2010

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!

From: Sadie 8 January 2010

Freezing outside, I have just made your soup. Easy to follow recipe, love all the comments, look forward to tasting it.

From: Tallulahmaud 8 January 2010

What a tasty dish. Just what is needed for this cold weather and living on a shoe string. I also like the plain and simple step by step instructions, It is like soup for dummies. Thank You.

From: Lou 10 January 2010

Yummy Yummy...this was my first attempt at making soup and it was delicious, pat on the back for me. I'm going to try other veg soups...but leek and potato soup is my fav, served with crusty brown loaf.

From: Christine 10 January 2010

I made this soup and it was warm and filling just what we needed in this very cold weather.  Well done cookuk we need more easy recipes like this one.

From: Sadie 10 January 2010

I have never made soup in my life before but hubby and friends kept saying how easy it is. Yours is very tasty and went down a treat - although i did add some boiled ham as well.

From: Katieb 6 January 2010

I made this soup today and it was really lovely and so easy to make. Thank you.

From: Joanne Yallop 7 January 2010

Excellent soup very tasty and warming.

From: Bidsta 7 January 2010

Snowed in so what better way to spend the morning with the kids making easy soup with what we have in the kitchen.  Great soup, kids just love it and keeps you warm too. Added some bacon at the beginning which made it even more tasty.

From: Linda 7 January 2010

I have just made your Leek & Potato soup, Fantastic, it was so easy to make and tastes wonderful, and I was able to make one batch with chicken stock and one with veg. stock as my daughter is a vegetarian, Thumbs up all round.

From: Lyns 8 January 2010

Excellent easy 2understand recipe, used this again and again!!!

From: Chris Oeillet 27 December 2009

Great recipe, have made this a few times and we all love it. So easy to make.

From: Gary Street 1 January 2010

Just about to make this soup. My girlfriend loves soup, so hope I get it right.

From: SirMonk 4 January 2010

Great leek and potato soup recipe and so easy to follow. Tastes great and my little 1 year old has eaten a whole bowl full.

From: Not Given 4 January 2010

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.

From: Matthew Dunn 5 January 2010

I added 1 red pepper and 2 spring onions. Blended. It turned out great. Really tasty.

From: C Fangerow 30 November 2009

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!

From: Kate 02 December 2009

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!

From: Judith Eyres 09 December 2009

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.

From: Jane Emmerich 16 December 2009

Grew our own leeks and made the soup, everyone loved it. So making again for Christmas for my daughter who never had it before. Will make again & again.

From: Jenny Tiwari from Cyprus 16 December 2009

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.

From: Not Known 29 December 2009

Great soup perfect for relaxed cheap meals. Great for us students.

From: Dave 7 November 2009

I've made this leek and potato soup a few times and we love it. Easy to follow and very cheap to make. Delicious. Cheers.

From: Toby 9 November 2009

It's nice, but not as nice as mine lol! Very good.

From: Roger the Doddger 15 November 2009

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........

From: Jenny 16 November 2009

The whole family enjoyed this leek and potato soup even my grandchildren.

From: Sandra 5 November 2009

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 :)

From: Nicola 4 November 2009

On a diet so trying to eat more health and found this recipe. It is very nice and my mum ate full bowl, she loved it and she hard to plz so thanx.

From: Victoria J 4 November 2009

I love leek and potato soup with rolls.

From: Phillipa 3 November 2009

Great recipe thanks so much! It is great to know whether foods freeze. I actually made it without the milk and it still tasted good. Keep the great recipes coming.

From: Tim 3 November 2009

Just had a fine meal of leek and potato soup, an easy to follow recipe that tastes great. Next time I make it I wont be adding as much milk as recommended but I will be making it again.

From: Pat 29 October 2009

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

From: Marjorie 30 October 2009

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.

From: Calvino III 16 November 2009

Thank you so much for this recipe!! My wife and 8 kids love it :) Much love Calvino xx

From: Basia 26 November 2009

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!

From: Jan Tyler 26 November 2009

Waited for years to make soup, now thrilled with results, so enjoyable. I know exactly what goes in it, full of goodness and no additives, all my family are enjoying it.

From: Yosi 29 November 2009

Great recipe, my first go at this soup that I love. Just followed your instructions and impressed everybody with your leek and potato soup :) Thanks for sharing it with us.
