  Yum yum yum, this was lovely! Took a chance as we had friends coming for lunch and I hadn't made this before, but it went down well with everyone including the 3 year old and 1 year old! Great recipe.

  When a recipe mentions streaky bacon, I don't know if it is smoked or unsmoked bacon. The taste is really different and could be important for different recipes. Which is used in this recipe?

  I started it all off in the pan as in the recipe, then popped it in the slow cooker for a few hours. Didn't use the full amount of single cream, but it's delicious and keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days for packed lunches to heat up at work. Definitely one I will cook again.

  Made from our own grown leeks and potatos, this really is a top soup for taking to the allotment.

  This was delicious. I omitted the cream but I don't think it needed it and I cut down a little on the stock. Garnished with crushed garlic croutons as I had run out of bacon.

  Very yummy soup! I used smoked back bacon, cut into small pieces and fried my bacon and onion in 1tbsp olive oil instead of butter. I also used 1L of chicken stock and added about 200ml semi-skimmed milk instead of the cream, I like my soup quite thick. Even my son enjoyed it!

  Mmm just made this for my boyfriend and myself, he is suffering with a cold but I think it did the trick. Really tasty and lovely. I put a few onion crispies on top as I didn't have enough bacon - it worked!

  I made this soup last night. It was very easy to make and tastes fantastic! I served it with crusty bread rolls and my husband also loved it. The bacon adds a great twist to leek and potato soup. I will definitely make this again!

  Nice and easy. We made a job lot last year using the leeks and potatoes from our allotment, a family favourite.

  Very easy and really nice, even without the cream for a healthier option it's still brilliant.

  Great! :) I really enjoyed it. Go easy on the salt though as the bacon and the vegetable/chicken cubes are already salty and you could end up over doing.

  A bit salty, but overall very good! Will definitely make this again. Only one thing was off- the soup was just a tad watery, so I would say add an extra potato, or a little less stock.
