I love this soup! It's so creamy and flavorful. I always add a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a bit of a kick.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the leeks added a nice touch of sweetness.
