This comforting soup can be made as thick or thin as you like. I prefer mine somewhere in the middle, otherwise it reminds me too much of mashed potatoes. To elevate this dish to the next level, I garnish it with a splash of cream, crispy bacon, and the most important ingredient - crispy fried leeks.

Leeks are full of flavor and add so much to this humble dish. You will be shocked at how utilizing the white stems for the soup and green tops to add a crunchy & salty garnish will transform this meal.
