This soup is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I've made it for potlucks, parties, and even just for a quick weeknight dinner.

I'm not a fan of carrots, but I didn't even notice them in this soup. They just melted into the broth and added a subtle sweetness.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more broth or water to thin it out.

I added a cup of frozen corn to the soup and it was a great addition. It added a bit of sweetness and texture.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly! It was so easy to just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and then have a delicious soup ready for dinner.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted vegetable broth for the chicken broth. The soup was still very flavorful and delicious.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The soup was bland and lacked flavor. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, and maybe some additional herbs or spices.

I'm not usually a fan of leek soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The leeks were cooked perfectly and didn't have any of that strong, bitter flavor that I usually associate with them. The soup was also very creamy and flavorful.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The combination of potatoes, leeks, and carrots was perfect, and the broth was so flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the cream, which made the soup extra rich and creamy.
