I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I thought I'd give this soup a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The leeks were very mild and the soup was very creamy and flavorful.

This soup was a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. I don't think I'll be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I'll try reducing the amount of liquid next time.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This soup was delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped kale, which gave it a nice green color.
