  1. I found this quite bland at first. I think using three leeks as the previous reviewer suggested is a good idea. For seasoning, I used 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh ginger, a teaspoon of cinnamon, 1.5 teaspoons of black pepper, 1/3 teaspoon of cayenne and a bit of nutmeg. This turned out delicious.
     
  2. This is a delicious, tummy-warming soup. I thought the texture and flavor were perfect. I made it exactly as written, but used 3 leeks instead of two. Thanx for posting this recipe....it's a keeper that I'll make often!
