Everyone really liked it. I actually made two batches, one where I followed the recipe exactly, and the other where I left the skins on the potatoes. Not surprisingly, everyone predicted correctly which version they would prefer. This is a great winter soup that I will make again. [Jeremy Schweitzer] This was a simple, fast, and tasty soup.

It's full of the smoky flavor the bacon imparts, and I was surprised by it. We served it with rack of lamb, and, as much as I love lamb, I was drawn to the comfort of this soup. Quick, quick, quick. I would make this again and again. It's right on with the leeks and potatoes. I don't think it needed the sour cream, it was perfect without it.

That was that in the future I'd fry the bacon in the large saucepan and just wipe it out with a paper towel to continue with the soup. No need to dirty a sauté pan. We found this soup to be just what the author indicated, a nice variation on the classic. Leeks and potatoes, what could be better? Some lovely smoky bacon and a dollop of crème fraîche, that's what. Warm, rich, and comforting, it was a perfect simple lunch on a recent frigid New England afternoon. [Cindi Kruth] I made only one notation on this recipe as I tested it.
