Juia's version has been a favorite of ours for years. Intended to make it but did not have the recipe. Went online and many, many versions claimed to be hers but yours was the only one the sauted the leeks then added flour which was the way I have always made it...so glad to find it. Thanks.

I am new to looking up recipes on the Internet, and needed a potato leek soup recipe. These are great! You can bet I will be back to your "Table" again. (I plan to use the broth.)

Wonderful recipes, Ann. I can't wait to try my hand at baking this bread recipe. And I agree, I would much prefer the soup made with chicken stock.

I'm dropping by from The Schnitzel and the Trout to see your French Bread. Susan made it and it looks perfect. I love Julia and her recipes always work. Thanks so much. I'm not much of a baker and have a lot to learn.

You are very welcome. You can't go wrong with either recipe. Although I do prefer the soup made with chicken broth and not water.

Thank you for posting the potato leek soup recipes. I saw a rerun of the episode in which the two recipes were demonstrated recently and wanted very much to try them both during the holiday season.

Everything looks great. I love leek-soup, I make it very seldom... But the bread. I imagine the delicious aroma in the house.

I always use water for steam but it gets messy and often spills. Ice cubes are a great idea, I'll that next time.
And btw - your bread is gorgeous!!!

Yum! I love a good potato leek soup. I have the Julia Jacques book, too - thanks for reminding me to take a look! :)
And your bread looks truly fantastic. I have no idea how to work with starters, etc., but someday I aspire to make great bread. Great blog.

This is the first soup that I learned from Julia Child's book, and it remains my favourite to this day. Most soups require a stock of some sort to make them tasty, but for some reason this recipe just doesn't require it. For those who don't believe that these simple ingredients can make a tasty soup, just imagine mashed potatoes but in soupy form.
It's easy on the tummy, too...I remember a few times when I was sick that this was just about all I could eat!

We really enjoy potato leek soup as well, and both of your recipes look very appealing and delicious.

Your bread is GORGEOUS!

I haven't ever made this soup. I love eating it though! I guess I should try my hand at making it. This recipe looks great!

It stormed for the better part of the day today - that would have been a perfect lunch for me! :) Yum! Btw, I love how nicely your loaves brown - my don't ever seem to get that beautiful color. Gorgeous!
