  Delicious & so easy to chuck together, a real "fall back option" after work.

  Really simple and tasty - I love this! I've also made it using left-over home cooked ham in place of the bacon and added a tbsp of wholegrain mustard with the stock - bit different but I like it as a variation.

  SOOOooo yummy! It made my kitchen smell amazing! Real comfort food. I used a pack of veggie bacon and it still tasted good. Think I might add a little Paprika next time as i'm sure veggie bacon isn't as flavoursome as 'proper' bacon! Really filling. Will definitely be making some to freeze and take to work over the winter.

  I have cooked this soup twice now and i have to say it is fantastically tasty and very easy to make the only thing i changed was that i added cubed sweet potatoes and half a chilli for that extra kick.

  A good, satisfying soup. I used just one litre of stock (Marigold vegetable bouillon) to four leeks, four rashers, plus I added a clove of crushed garlic, a teaspoonful of mustard, and Basmati RICE instead of pasta. This made four servings. This is so simple I'll definitely make it again.

  I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this was, given that there was only four ingredients. The leeks are amazing at delivering loads of flavour quickly.
