    Made this today - very good - a lot like loaded baked potato soup. I can't help wondering, though, how someone decided that 10 1/2 potatoes is j-u-s-t the right number. I pureed some of the potato & broth mixture before adding the leeks and bacon. Makes it creamier and a little more sophisticated/less rustic.
