"YUMMY!!!! My non vegan family loved the soup! I followed the directions and it turned out great! I did have to make it in two pots which in the end turned out best. The only thing I would do differently would be not to puree the potatoes but somehow only puree the leeks. This is only because of the color of the finished soup (due to picky eaters they may hesitate about the questionable color then the unpureed leeks.)If your vege broth is not brown then you may have no problems with the color. So easy and will make again!"

"Here's A REALLY GREAT TASTING SOUP, & one that I'll be happy to make over & over in the future! I pretty much followed the recipe although I did substitute lemon pepper for the usual S&P, & the cloves of garlic that I used were LARGE! I also used some homemade vegetable broth here & some home-grown rosemary (the only one in my very, very small garden)! I also enjoy the subtle flavor that leeks give to a recipe like this! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed (however late I was!) for one of my Vegan groupmates in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap #8]"
