Thank you, Gabby, for your prompt response. I think I should inform you of one thing though.
Potato leek soup does NOT taste primarily like leeks!
A good potato and leek soup is creamy and rich. It has aged cheddar. The leeks simply add a sweet, fragrant undertone. In a soup, they are quite mild. Part of this is due to the fact that they have been cooked down for awhile before consuming. This is akin to cooking down onion or garlic in a dish - it's still there, but it's not the star of the show.
Before you dismiss the notion of potato leek soup entirely, let me give you a list of other people who also enjoy it:
- Alex
- Me (Trundle)
- Justin (he hasn't tried it yet, but I know he will)
In conclusion, please try potato leek soup! Do not wait for a taste from a friend.
