I usually make it with just leeks, potatoes, and chicken broth,
and a little butter to lightly saute the leeks in. And a just
a tiny bit of freshly grated nutmeg. I haven't tried adding
onion yet; I'll have to give that a try next time. I've never
put cream in it, and I find it quite wonderful without it. (And
certainly lower calorie!)
