I thought I'd try a simple potato and leek soup as I haven't done it before, and thought I would adjust flavours for next time. However, this tastes so great I won't bother! - 04 Aug 2012
Yum.. I used a cup more chicken stock as was "stand the spoon up" thick. - 08 May 2013
I made this as stated, however made some vege stock from cubes at half strength and added a generous pinch of white pepper at end of cooking. Some gentle simmering, and some action with a potato masher has resulted in a tasty fat free soup that I would term fairly smooth with some chunks of vege. Yum! - 11 Sep 2012
