What I changed:
• used 4 potatoes (medium-small)
• used 4 leeks (love!)
• used 1 small onion
• used just a sprinkle of black pepper, and a sprinkle of Mrs. Dash (instead of pepper & thyme)
• used Better than Bullion to make the chicken broth, and brought it to a boil to dissolve it first (my pref)
-only used 3 teaspoons of BtB for the 5 cups of water
-because I like a potato leek soup that tastes more of potato than chicken
• threw in 2-3 small (0.5") pieces of pork fatback saved from when I made black bean and country ham soup (for flavoring)
• I plan to use some dairy in it (the recipe calls for 1 cup of heavy cream), but I'm going to use 0.5 cup half-n-half and 0.5 cup ff skim milk
