Potato, Leek, and Roasted Garlic Soup image

One night I was watching Emeril and he made a garlic soup. I made the garlic soup and enjoyed it, but decided I'd rather have something else in it rather than having to put bread in the soup to make it feel like it had substance. So I took what I knew of the garlic soup and I took what I knew of leek soup and a smashed them together.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more salt and pepper.

This soup was really easy to make and it turned out great. I used my immersion blender to puree it, which made it extra creamy. I also added a bit of grated Parmesan cheese, which gave it a nice savory flavor.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more salt and pepper. I also think it would have been better if I had used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great. It was creamy, flavorful, and the roasted garlic added a nice touch. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this soup. The roasted garlic mellowed out the leek flavor and made it much more palatable. I would definitely make this again.
