Creamy Leek Soup Recipe (2024)

Very comforting soup. Subbed 1 small white potato for 1/2 the basmati rice. Used 6 cups of chicken stock and 1/2 cup white wine. This soup is very creamy; doesn't seem to need cream or creme fraiche. Lovely soup.

This is my favourite soup recipe. I add red chili flakes when serving which adds a nice heat to it.

I want to add that I like the idea of using rice instead of potatoes because I think that will make this recipe freeze better.

I LOVE this recipe and its result! It is fast and easy and delicious! I made it last night and instead of using rice, I used white beans to add the 'creamy'. It was good, but as with the rice, you really need to amp up the black pepper. I also added chopped cilantro. I serve with a blob of sour cream and Tabasco sauce.

Solid leek soup recipe. Using rice instead of potatoes makes the consistency of this soup perfectly creamy; however, I think the taste is better with potatoes. I tried using greek yogurt for the dairy, but I didn't think the flavors were a perfect match.

Just made this and it is really good. Elegant and comforting. I have to confess that I added a little butter at the end, but I tasted it before that and it would also have been really good without the butter.

My husband made this soup yesterday to warm me up after a long day working in the sub freezing weather. I really wanted to like it, and I do like most things, but it was disgusting. It called for way too much rice, was really glutinous and I could barely stir it. I tried adding some hot water to it, but it still tasted awful. Put your leek to better use than this soup!

Was going to make this, but the idea of rice turned me off so I chose to go to the old standby of Leeks and Yukons. Even without adding the cream, the soup is thick and creamy and, having tasted it, delicious. It is now cooled enough to be in the refrigerator for a while. I’ll bring it out just before dinner, heat it up again and add a small amount of cream only if needed. The soup will be paired with a caraway rye bread, lightly toasted and a bottle of 19 Crimes Hard Chard. Can’t wait!

This was fantastic. I roasted baby leeks the night before with garlic to make this less labour-intensive day of. Also, you can spare yourself cutting / mincing if you have a vitamix. Leeks and garlic went into the chicken stock whole and the soup came out soft as silk. So easy!

This recipe is magic, it turns a few ingredients into a thing of beauty. This is my comfort soup, I make it whenever I can and even if it’s the beginning of spring and I’m ready for popsicles, I’ll get one rainy cold day and I’ll run to the store for my leeks. If I see leeks, let me tell you, they are MINE. I want to grow them because of this recipe. Thank you to the author, my life is better.

Added cooked rice and a couple of yellow potatoes on hand, a about 1/2 c cream at finish, also chopped fresh dill and some crispy jalapeño from Trader Joes

Use 6 cups stock

Easy on the pepper. Mine had a kick! But I got carried away on the grinder. Delicious, delicate, and lovely. Made it just as recommended with some rosemary croutons.

Have made this a few times - added some grated Parmesan cheese instead of the cream this last go around - enjoyed that variation

I used heavy cream. Made it on a Tuesday, served on Wednesday, it was good but a little boring. Served it again on Friday and, after a few days in fridge, it was fabulous.

Super easy and delicious. Added an extra clove of garlic and an extra bay leaf

Holy WOW! Followed the recipe pretty much exactly. This is PERFECT. My boyfriend said it made him feel fancy~

Incredible recipe - delicious, silky smooth, restaurant-quality and above all, CREAMY soup! I doubled the bay leaves and garlic, and season with Aleppo pepper and chopped chives - the results were fabulous. Cannot wait to make again.

Great addition to our Easter meal. Nice, light soup, with a fabulous creamy texture.

I followed the recipe using what I had on hand: only 2 leeks (so I used the entire leek -- yes, even the dark green parts!), jasmine instead of basmati rice, one russet potato, chicken bone broth, and an immersion blender. Fabulous!

Nice and comforting soup. We did increase leeks x3 as we accidentally ordered WAY too many leeks, but the soup turned out nicely! Also - I added some dill as topping - because I am crazy about topping things up with dill - that went pretty good together with this soup!

This soup was amazing and so so easy AND economical. My partner is from France; and he adores leek soup. He said that this soup rivaled the best he has had. I added several more leaks, two more cups of broth, 2 shallots and 2 more garlic cloves . Also opted for a touch of cayenne. Wonderful soup! Definitely a keeper.

This is a wonderful and easy soup, perfect for a cold and dreary day. It presented an opportunity to use up some leftover cooked rice, which worked out perfectly. Eager to use my immersion blender and taste it, forgot to first take out the bay leaf. Thankfully the dried leaf pulverized while the stem stayed whole and was easy to remove. It was great nonetheless!
