I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the brie adds a nice touch of richness. I usually serve it with a crusty baguette.

This soup was a disaster! The leeks were not cooked through and the soup was very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This soup was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less brie next time. Otherwise, the soup was very flavorful and creamy.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but this soup was surprisingly good! The brie mellowed out the flavor of the leeks and made the soup very creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
