I made this soup in my slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I omitted the cream from this recipe. The soup was still creamy and flavorful, thanks to the Gruyère cheese.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still delicious, and I didn't miss the meat at all.

This soup is so versatile! I've served it with crusty bread, crackers, and even rice. It's also great topped with chopped bacon or crumbled sausage.

I added a few extra cloves of garlic to my soup, and it gave it a delicious depth of flavor. I also used a sharp cheddar cheese instead of Gruyère, and it melted perfectly into the soup.

This soup is surprisingly easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover leeks. I also love that it can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve it.
