[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as creamy as I was hoping for.

[email protected]This soup is a great way to use up leftover leeks. I had a bunch of leeks that were starting to wilt, and this soup was the perfect way to use them up. The soup is creamy and flavorful, and it's a great way to warm up on a cold day.
