Bavarian Potato Leek Soup image

I found this on a copy-cat site and its the best I've found so far. I use a potato masher right before serving to make it creamier but with some chunks of potato. You could also use an immersion/stick blender if you like it really smooth. (I also like it served cold)

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the texture was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a bit thinner and more flavorful.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped bacon to the soup for extra flavor. I will definitely be making this soup again.

I made this soup last week and it was a hit! My husband and I both loved it. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the leeks added a nice subtle sweetness. I will definitely be making this soup again soon.
