Bavarian Potato Leek Soup image

I found this on a copy-cat site and its the best I've found so far. I use a potato masher right before serving to make it creamier but with some chunks of potato. You could also use an immersion/stick blender if you like it really smooth. (I also like it served cold)

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. It reheats well and is just as good the next day.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I still enjoyed this soup. The potatoes and bacon were very flavorful.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and leeks. It's also a very affordable meal.

I thought this soup was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste.

I've been making this soup for years and it's always a hit. My family loves the creamy texture and the smoky flavor from the bacon.

This soup is hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. The leeks and potatoes are a classic combination and contrasting flavors. I added a few carrots for extra sweetness.
