  Nice, simple soup. Persnally I leave out the cream as, like a lot of soups, it adds nothing and simply kills the flavour.

  This is a lovely tasty recipe which is very cheap and quick to make. Instead of garnishing with crispy bacon, I made croutons from cheese and thyme topped toast drizzled with olive oil and I used full cream milk instead of cream to cut down on calories (although I did use the butter). I also threw in a handful of fresh peas after cooking and blending to add to the colour and texture.... yum yum! My little boy loved it too!

  Brilliant soup. All the family loved it. Left out the cream and I add any veg in fridge needing used up, eg cabbage, celery etc. Make it time and again as my hubby's favourite.

  Really lovely soup. I didn't add the bacon and it still tasted lovely.

  This is absolutely delicious, the bacon is a great addition to a regular leek and potato soup! If anything it tasted better on day 2 after being kept in the fridge overnight and then reheated. So good I've now made it several times!

  Absolutely delicious. Crispy bacon was a lovely touch. Didn't bother with the cream it was so tasty enough without it. Will be making it again.

  Really easy and very tasty soup. Loved the bacon part, but skippped the cream as I thought it might weaken the taste. I will surely try it again.

  I've made this soup a number of times and have really enjoyed it but have sometimes found it to be a little thick. I only had 250g of leeks today so used those and kept the other quantiities the same, it's still delcious and the consistency is slightly thinner which I prefer. Also, I only had 70ml of cream so made up the remainder with semi skimmed milk and no bacon so used cooked ham instead.

  I omitted cream to make this lighter and it was extremely tasty. Great warming-up soup for winter days!

  I keep a third of the cooked potatoes aside then add to the blended ingredients to reheat with a little cooked broccoli, as I like the hearty texture of the vegetables. Also, I find that potatoes don't really need much cream/milk when pureed.

  Very easy soup to make and is totally and utterly delicious!!! My only problem is that is meant to be low fat, but it is so morish that I always end up having seconds.....then thirds!

  Great soup, tastes lovely and very easy to make. I make it without the cream as I'm trying to lose weight for the summer.

  Very tasty soup and simple to make. The bacon makes it slightly salty so doesn't need too much seasoning.

  Lovely soup - I love my soups thick, and this was perfect! I made a few minor adjustments (can't do as I'm told!) so I ended up using maybe 35g of butter, a litre of stock and no cream. I used two small/medium onions and two large leeks, but I have no idea how much they weighed. Served with a bit of feta cheese and wholemeal toast. Can't wait til lunch or tea tomorrow to have it again! Definitely on my list of things to make again :)
