    We thought this recipe was good. Really don't know how to describe it but, it had a weird but good taste. I don't know maybe because we never really eat leeks or use celery seed so maybe thats why we tasted a weird but enjoyable flavor at the sane time, if that makes any sense.

    This ranks among my very favourite soups!! I made a bunch of it and froze it in 1- and 2-serving portions. To cut down on the sodium content, I used salt substitute instead of salt, and I used homemade chicken stock (almost sodium-free) instead of store-bought cans.

    I made it with 3/4 cup 2% evaporated milk (instead of cream), didn't add the extra salt, and it turned out great.
