Potato Leek Soup

Made with 6 medium potatoes and 7 cups of broth, heavy cream instead of a roux, added fresh thyme, and 3 cloves of garlic. Served with buttered French bread. Super delicious!

Added a couple carrots, a few garlic cloves and a dash of cayenne pepper. Easy weeknight dinner

Couldn’t be easier. I don’t have an immersion blender, and I think that would have made the texture a bit better, but as it was it was simple, flavorful, filling without being too heavy. Considering getting an immersion blender just to make this again. I did add a tiny bit of garlic and thyme just to richen the flavor a smidge

The soup turned out incredibly bland and watery; not in terms of consistency but in terms of flavour. It was very lackluster and I had to add pretty much everything I could find to add some volume to the flavour. I ended up adding extra milk which did nothing, then went for sour cream followed by shredded parmesan...still nothing. Added in parsley, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, old bay...improved after the spices but still not creamy enough. I ended up adding more sour cream and then a bit of a shredded cheddar blend. It improved and was palatable after the spices and cheese was added. If I had heavy cream in the house I think that would have been best but I made do with what I had. I would give this a 3/10 for the posted recipe but I think my additions helped it improve to a 7ish/10. I wouldn't make it again with the original recipe that's for sure.

I added bacon and cheese, because why not? Yummy!

This cheap and simple to make but very flavorful. I added half a packet of gravy mix, which thickened it and deepened the flavor. I also think that it would be really tasty to add diced ham.

Really good, if cutting potatoes smaller than it is less time.

Took a bit longer to cook for me, but it turned out really tasty.

It could have used more salt, in my opinion, but that's an easy fix.
