     **Sounds good to try! I might even try some cauliflower instead of all potato. Maybe add some mushrooms, garlic or other veggies....Thanks for the ideas 090107 - 1/7/09

     I did not use the herbs and no salt but i did use low sodium chicken broth. It was smooth as silk after blending. - 5/21/11

     I've never had Leek soup before, I was making this for a friend, but I thought it was very tasty and easy to make. - 3/2/11

     This was lovely! I forgot to add the herbs and it was still great. I added 2 x veg stock cubes to the potatoes and carrot when they were boiling. Will definitely make again! - 1/23/11

     I used this as a guide, liked it because it did not have dairy or wine...I used low sodium chicken stock for half the water....and added some fresh spinach which gave it a pretty color contrast. thanks for sharing!! - 6/2/10

     This was a very good recipe, quick and simple. I did replace 2 of the cups of water with vegetable broth, which gave it a more robust flavor. Other than that, GREAT IDEA with the herbs. THANK YOU! I wrote this on another recipe by accident. This is the actual one I wanted to write it on. - 4/21/10

     I doubled the herbs and leeks (I bought way to many at the farmers market, but they looked so delicious!), but other than that, this was a great and easy soup to make! Yum! - 4/13/10

     Really excellent: loved the texture and the taste. The mixture of spices is what made me try it and the flavors blended marvelously. THANK YOU. A KEEPER! - 4/27/09
  • LOVEROLLS
     Delicious! I threw 4 chicken bouillion cubes in the water to flavor it. I put everything in the blender and didn't add more water than the 6 cups. I can't believe how awesome this turned out. - 8/9/08
