Great improvisation, Cassandra! That’s part of the joys of soups, you can easily make them with what’s on hand, or add more/less of something to fit your taste. So happy you enjoyed it, but I must agree… Leaks and soup are a beautiful match!

Merci, Veronica! One of my biggest hopes with recipes is that you will be inspired enough to try it again, and add your own twists and ingredients on hand to it. Recipes don’t always have to be biblical (though some purists would disagree). I am a home cook, not a chef, and so I want recipes to simply be a guide as well as informative. Here it is in its “pure French form”, but that’s not how it has to be each time when you rectreate it at home.

Glad you enjoy it! 🙂

Great to hear, Leslie. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Would love to hear back your thoughts 🙂

I think either vegetable or chicken broth would both work well.

Id probably stay away from beef or lamb stock, their flavors are too overpowering and wouldn’t blend well with the sausage. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the review! Much appreciated. Love the additions, which are subtle but definitely noticeable. I’ve never thought of adding butter at the end, but now I think I might give this a try (if even just in my bowl to see how it goes). But as you and I well know… Everything is better with butter! 🙂

I wanted to vote this as 5 stars, but I’m on my phone and I think I may have accidentally hit 4. I’m sorry about that and hope that can be corrected. It’s a 5-star recipe. 🙂
