I made a potato soup once and it spilled everywhere...turns out it had a leek in it🙄...sigh. Great job mate, would go down well on a cold day!
🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha ha. Nice one! Thank you. Best, Rik
😂😂 Good one ❤
Lol 😂😂😂
@@mrdangiles90 😂🤭the old ones are the best lol 🤣
👍more please 🤩 Will eat homemade soup everyday 💚 😋 🌈
Thank you. Best, Rik
My favorite soup, and the croutons are the crowning glory! My neighbor gave me so many leeks from his garden, I was carmelizing them and eating them with everything. They were so sweet and delicious!
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
One of the favourite foods in childhood here in Northern Karelia, Finland, with proper Finnish dark rye bread and butter.
Thank you. Best, Rik
My favourite soup, I tend to make around 5 litres at a time and then freeze it in 350g portions. Blue cheese goes in too. Definitely giving those croutons a try.
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Ooh, blue cheese! My Dad, who always made my childhood potato soup, also loved blue cheese...but never combined them together. I now add melty American cheese to mine (which he didn't do), so blue cheese isn't too much of a stretch. I'll have to try it. Bet Dad would have loved it.
Leek and potato a very under estimated soup. Sounds pretty bland but is in fact very flavourful. I like a sprinkle of white pepper with it. Croutons are a great addition and with an airfryer so easy to make. :).
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks great Ric, I could eat those delicious croutons as a snack anytime 😂 x
Thank you. Best, Rik
That too. A great and simple snack. Who needs potato crisps?
@@janechapman4335 Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Ohhh yesyesyes! My wife makes a great potato and onion soup, but we've never cooked with leeks before. I think that will change! And those croutons look good enough to replace my usual bowl of popcorn for my evening snack! Thank you!
Thank you. Yes they make a good snack . Best, Rik
Ahhhh, sublime comfort food from the Welsh side of my family. My Grandmother made it, my Dad made it, and now I make it. My version is more a peasant/Depression-era one, very simple, no bells or whistles. Just potatos and allium family boiled in enough water to just cover, then add cream at the end. Served chunky, not blended. Growing up, it was made with onions and a can of evaporated milk, but now I usually use leeks and cream, and add a few slices of real American cheese (deluxe, NOT the individually wrapped slices), 6-8 white, with one or two yellow to end up with a creamy color. I usually use Long Island or Eastern US potatoes (all-purpose, which retain their shape), but also add some russets if I have them, (which rub off the cut edges and/or partially break apart, to thicken the soup naturally).
Rik, those croutons look like a great addition❤, or maybe even parmesan crisps (without the bread). I'll be making some version of this for sure, once the weather turns cold.
Lovely! Thank You. Best, Rik
Ohh, this is gonna be a Sunday soup here soon. Looks delicious! Stay safe Chef!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh yes, now we are talking! I love soups, I’ve just made a pot of carrot and coriander, all produce from my garden ( Cyprus 😉). Stock from chicken hand reared. Can’t beat a good soup 🤤
Thank you. Cyprus - my memory is terrible these days - guess what - I'm cooking with Halloumi cheese tomorrow. There's a coincidence. Best, Rik
I just adore soup. Thanks Rik 👍🏼❤️
Yes one of those comfort foods I love. Thank you. Best, Rik
Oo yes that looks delicious and croutons are just the best way to use up stale bread iv always got a tub in the cupboard my son eats them as a snack instead of crisps , thank you Rik I need to make some soup now to go with them 😋Amanda xx
Great idea!! Thank you. Best, Rik
One of my favourites! Beautiful!
Mine too! Thank you. Best, Rik
My most made type of soup leek and potato soup- now I need to try the croutons
Thank you. Best, Rik
Delicious soup and croutons. I love homemade soups. I love the idea of putting pamazan cheese on the croutons. Thanks for sharing, Rik.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Ric, what a very tasty looking soup, the croutons are delicious, I have made them for tomato soup. 👍👍👍
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
What a Chef. Makes us all want to cook those recipes. Keep up the great tutorials Captain. Peace and goodwill.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh,ya!
Thank you. Best, Rik
All the yumminess!!😎

My favourite soup of all time nothing to beat it, hale, and hearty
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thanx for recipe..simple but delicious
Thank you. Best, Rik
Love it😂 jeez, I just seem to be living your recipes Rik😎 thanks for sharing😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
Perfect for snowstorm dig-out. Big batch to share with neighbors and strangers that walk by. No doubt soup will stop a snowball fight.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Uuu, love that soup❤well done Rik, thx for the recipe 👍❤️👋🇫🇮
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
I think people think soup is a complicated thing to make, but it really isn’t. So good on a cold day too. I love making different soups and chowders. Easy and delicious.
So true! Thank you. Best, Rik
This is the fancy version of my soup and it looks superb! We will put this on this week’s menu, Mr Rik. Your recipe is making my stomach growl, lol. For my plain old potato soup I use a fine potato masher with a grid type of disk. I cook everything in water, add stock cubes, boil it down and then add a can or two of evaporated milk and bring it back up to temp and check for seasoning.
Wonderful! Thank you. Best, Rik
Leek and potato, love that soup with the added joy of parmesan croutons. Will be making this. Thankyou Rik
Thank you. Best, Rik
How crisp and fresh were those leeks 👍 and the Parmesan croutons are the perfect finish, thanks Rik my friend 👍
Pleasure. Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks so nice.hang on im just going to get my soup spoon.well done yet again Rik ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
I just came home from the store with leeks and potatoes. Thank you!!!!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
I LOVE SOUP 👌ANY TIME. 🍲
THANK YOU RIK ❤
I do too! Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks lovely. Leeks are an amazing and tasty vegetable, particularly with potatoes in that gorgeous soup Rik.
They are! Thank you. Best, Rik
My aunty used to make brocoli and stilton soup, it was so good. Sadly she has died and we have no recipe and cannot emulate it. You consolidate all the old good dishes here on this channel and a book by you would be a treat.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Another stunning but simple dish Rik. Brilliant.
Thank you. Best, Rik
The bit of cheese on the bottom of the tray are like the cherry on top. Reminds me of Parmesan crisps. Those would be a lovely company-worthy addition arranged all chef-y style across the top of the bowl..
Thank you. Best, Rik
I just told my daughter I was going to look for a potato leek soup recipe!!
I love the fact you show when you mix things up. I feel better knowing I am not the only one!
Looks fantastic!
Thanks for another great one Rik.
It happens - there are no second takes or rehearsals here - I cook straight out and film. You see what I see. The thing is - just correct it and carry on. No panic! Thank you. Best, Rik
Awesome two in one video! Those croutons are a whole food group by themselves!!! Salads, sups, or munching, that is fabulous, as always, Rik!!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks so good, I love potato soup and this recipe takes it up a notch. Now I’ll will have to grow leeks, lol.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I agree. Simply food made properly brings out the wonderful profile of the food.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Another Blinder Rik, Nice an Steady

Yes please, I've been after this recipe for ages. I used to make this years ago but I definitely needed a refresher. Thanks Rik
Thank you. Best, Rik
Leeks are always best when making potato soup,Mmmm mmmm Love mine with chunks of potato though,😊
Chopped bacon on top,Mmmmm
Thank you. Best, Rik
This would be satisfying for a winter meal!
Indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Wonderful to have different soup ideas for the upcoming autumn and winter months.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yeah 🎉.
I make my leek and potato soup the same way, apart from the addition of cream and that's just because I'd never thought of it. You better believe that from now on, I'll be adding that extra naughty ingredient! Thanks so much Rik x
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love all your recipes. And your demonstrations are very inspiring 👏👍Thank you
Glad you like them! Thank you. Best, Rik
I now found myself looking forward to the winter and colder days to make and enjoy this soup 😊👍
Thank you. Best, Rik
Also known as Vichyssoise Soup, one of my favorites.
Just waiting for my leeks and potatoes to finish growing in my garden. They'll be ready in another 3 weeks and I'll use them fresh out of the garden to make my end of summer soup..
I use a can of carnation milk if I don't have cream available. The fresh cream is preferable.
The recipe I was given 40 years ago called for 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of powdered mace (depending on the quantity of soup you are making) along with salt, pepper and bay leaf.
Gives it a lovely, distinctive flavor.
Some recipes call for a 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, but have never tried that.
Very refreshing when served cold on a hot day.
Stick to your bones comforting when served hot on a cold, rainy day.
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
My two favourite soups are ham & split pea and leek & potato. Great winter warmers (summer too, given the rotten weather this year 😂😂)
Thank you. Heard the summer has been hit and miss. Best, Rik
It is a favourite soup in our household! But I love the added croutons.. I don’t usually bother with croutons but my mouth is watering for them and especially that crunch! Thanks Rik…
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummo!! One of my favourite soups, there really isn’t many that aren’t my favourite. I’ll make this next week with some beautiful home made bread, yum, yum, yum. Thanks Rik.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I made this soup this afternoon with croutons & my family loves it!!! I will be sharing this recipe with my friend Cindy! She is the one I shared rumbledethump recipe with! She doesn’t have internet so your recipes get shared with her by copying and sending to her! She stopped on her way home from work! She loves this too!!
Wonderful! Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik, you've done it again!! Brilliant stuff. I could eat this every day too!!
I had it for four days! Thank you. Best, Rik
This is going with Friday night dinner party. Irresistible. Thanks for that

So many people underestimate the deliciousness of home made soup. Nothing better on a cold winter's day. Leek & potato is one of my favourites! Next time I shall do the croutons and blow my husband's socks off!
I totally agree! Sounds like a good plan! Thank you. Best, Rik
One of my favorite soups! Looking forward to making it. 🥣
Thank you. Best, Rik
I actually made some leek and potato soup this morning to use up some leeks....though have never done the croutons, will give them a go next time. Look delicious 😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
Look at that!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Low and slow applies to most things in life😊😊
It should in a crazy world. Thank you. Best, Rik

Thank you. Best, Rik
Fantastic soup Rik, bloody beautiful. 🙌🏼♥️
You are back!! Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef yes, thanks Rik. I got caught up again.
You must have read my mind today Rik, I’m just about to go make some creamy potato & leek soup 🥣😋. Looks absolutely fantastic with the addition of the Parmesan croutons 👌, would never have thought about making these as an accompaniment - so thank you for your brilliant suggestion. Unfortunately today was recycling waste collection day & I just binned my old bread this morning!🙄 So will either have to walk to supermarket in the hope they have some ‘marked down’ old bread or just try to dry out some slices of a fresh loaf! As always, thanks for sharing, can’t wait to taste it!
👨🍳🥣😋👌👍
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks wonderful! It’s my favorite soup🤗❤️🐝
Same here! Thank you. Best, Rik

You got this no problems. Thank you. Best, Rik
@BackyardChef I'll do my best Rik, I love home made soup but like I said I try and try, and it ends up in the bin . Could do with more soup recipes from you really. Xx
@@user-rs9ib4ln3e What is it about the finished soup you don't like? Perhaps we can sort it out.
Thanks so much Rik! Really enjoy the delicious simplicity of your recipes! Never cooked leek before but sure wish to try now! Happy Days! ☀️🧊👏😄🥰🤗🥘🥘

What nice recipe. We always struggled to find leeks but this winter they are available in our grocery stores
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Just lush. Thanks.
Thank you. Best, Rik
This is a must make. Thank you.
Thank you. Best, Rik
looked very yummy 😋. i do love a homemade soup. i bought a book called 'a celebration of soup'.
Thank You. Best, Rik
Hi Rik will put this on my soup rotation as we have soup most days for lunch. Winter and summer just love soup. This does look very tasty tho and much easier than some of the soups I make. Thanks as always Rik take care.
Thank you. Hope you enjoy. I agree with you. Soup anytime. Best, Rik
Looks delicious, Rik! 💜
Thank you 😋Best, Rik
Ideal comfort food for those cold days you get in Thailand. 🤣The leaks available here in the Philippines are as small as spring onions.
I think they grow the leeks on the mountains here. Yes soup any day - who cares what the weather is. Can be eaten cold too! Thank you. Best, Rik
My god that looks delicious
So good! Thank you. Best, Rik
❤nice❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
A nice dish. Perfect for the coming autumn. The site stands for a simple and uncomplicated approach. In this case, however, I would leave the hand blender in the drawer and instead take out the vegetables and press them through a potato ricer. This gives - for my taste - a much more pleasant consistency and avoids gelatinizing and slimy of the soup. 👍
Up to you as they say! Everyone different. Thank you. Best, Rik
❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh my GOD THIS LOOKS AWESOSME!! I ❤❤❤ leek and potato soup .. the croutons with Parmesan cheese ooohhh YUMMMMMM! Rik, how do you manage to outdo yourself all the time?? Thank you for this delicious recipe!
Question: can this be eaten cold? (BTW what is the difference between this soup and vichyssoise?)
Yes all soups can be eaten cold. That's down to personal taste. I eat cold all the time. Thank you. Best, Rik
