Tastes G-R-E-A-T!!!!!!
I made this soup exactly as written. While making it, I truly had my doubts about how good it was going to be. To my surprise, of all the soups that I have tried from Vitamix, THIS ONE IS THE BEST. Delicious creamy taste...Try it, you will like it.

Rich and Creamy
I made this soup today not knowing how it would turn out. It's as creamy as if it had a dairy base with an excellent flavor from the celery and leeks.

It is sooo good!
This soup is so good! I didn't have any vegetable bouillon, so I used "Better Than Bouillon - No Chicken Base" instead. It was so good! Next time, I think that I will leave some of the solid pieces out of the Vitamix and then add them in at the end on very low speed to chop them up, to give the soup a chunkier consistency.
