Simple and delicious. I made a few changes. I fried up a few slices of bacon, removed them, crumbed them and sauteed the onions, potatoes, leeks and fresh garlic in the fat. I then proceeded with the recipe as posted. When I was ready to serve, I sprinkled the bacon pieces on each bowl. Outstanding with so little effort! I served the soup with warm dinner rolls.

Fabulous and simple. Poured it into blender for a spin to make it smoother, terrific w/ crust bread.

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

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.
