Foraged for a whopping amount of leeks yesterday.. decided to make this recipe with them. The only things I really changed were I used my instant pot with ham hocks rather than just chunks of ham.. pressure cooked for about 15 minutes then took the ham off them. After pressure cooking, I used heavy whipping cream with flour rather than milk as I like it better in soups! Thank you for a great recipe that really gave me some idea as to what to do with my leeks! Most that I found blended the potatoes in and I’m not interested in doing that. I like them chunky and a bit rustic. Thanks again!😊

I always have troubles sticking to a recipe.... so I used the basic recipe and did the following: instead of ham, used left over smoked turkey from Thanksgiving, I never use water - used all chicken bone broth instead. Did not have leeks - onions do the trick. I never add milk & flour, instead add an 8 oz package of cream cheese (todays low fat works well and gives you that creamy texture). Cream cheese should be the last ingredient added - stir until melted ( I left out the 2 cups of milk moisture). Of course this make a much thicker soup, but that is what my family prefers. With the left overs you can add some frozen mixed vegetables and use it for filling for a pot pie. Oh and …..Always in a white chowder or white cream soup.... always! always! always! garnish with green onions and real bacon bits - it makes it a full bodied soup./chowder. Thanks for the recipe.

I made it tonight. I added some thyme. Next time I will omit the flour. Hubby liked it!

This is a delicious full-meal soup! I started with a turkey broth that was in my freezer and topped it up with chicken broth, and used fresh herbs from my garden. Topped with a bit of grated cheese & fresh parsley and served with crusty rolls. Very, very good!

Added broccoli and a cup of shredded cheddar 👌

Absolutely delicious love it!!

This taste absolutely amazing, would totally like eating this for dinner or lunch. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.

This is our favorite family confort food especially during rainy season. We dont mind eating lots of this as long as its prepared by our Momma :D Yummylicious!

I have never made this kind of soup with leeks before. It looks like it would be super tasty!

Aww.. so yummy. I love the potato and ham, they can be cooked into many dishes. Probably, I will cook this food for the weeken! Thanks for sharing!

This was absolutely delicious! I will be making this again and again all season long!

I love making potato and leek soup. It is a staple during the colder months. I like using bacon it adds such a great flavor.

I have made ham and potato soup before but all soups have their own unique flavor. I will try this one day after a trip to pick up leeks

This soup sounds like something we'll be making very soon. It looks so scrumptious--perfect for cold nights!

Now, this sounds like it would be absolutely amazing, lovely and warm at this cold time of year and it is filled with such delicious ingredients.

OMG I love this recipe because it has all the right amounts of the ingredients that I love! It tastes just right :)

Delicious recipe and a great warm dish for the cooler days ahead! I altered the recipe in that I cooked the veggies until tender before adding the ham, removed about have the soup and puréed it before adding it back and then adding the ham in. It made the soup thicker like a prefer and easier to get more veggies in my sometimes finicky kids.

This was so easy to follow and tasted amazing! I could eat this all winter!
