I know it. I had had homemade leek and potato before that experience
and it is really good. In fact.... it was even better with blue cheese
crumpled and slightly broiled on top. It is just that I was sort of
disappointed by the Costco - Knorr experience of being sucked into what
was billed as a variety pack but which was more likely a marketing
gimmick to dump a ton of product that was not selling,,...... because it
sucked.

This is another one of those cases where I begrudge my wife her low carb
diet. She avoids things high in carbs. I think about great soups I have
had, like potato leek and potato, corn and bacon, and why it is a waste
of time for me to make it because by the time I finish it I will be sick
of it.
