I've never cooked with leeks, and I've never made a soup that involved a blender - so I was a bit worried that I wouldn't care for the taste or that it would be too 'soupy' and not filling. But, no worries. The taste was excellent (needed extra spices, probably because I used water instead of broth) and it's a nice thick soup that is very filling. My soup turned out much more green than the pictures, though. Very very green. Like I added a few frogs to the blender green. I'm not sure why that is, but nontheless it was delicious. Thanks for the great recipe :D I made this soup for the first time today and it turned out spectacularly!

Why didn't you just change the setting on your camera to "dusk/dawn" and take the photo? I used to get blue-ish photos of cows all the time cause I was using the dusk setting, being as it was evening when I was taking the pictures!
