Step 2
Stir remaining carton chicken broth, cream, leeks, paprika, and dry onion soup mix into the mixture in the pot; continue cooking until thickened to your preferred consistency, about 20 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Use Cajun seasoning mix in place of the crab boil seasoning, if you like it spicier.

If you like a thicker soup, use just 2 cartons broth or add cornstarch dissolved in cold water to thicken the finished product.

Really really tasty soup. Hearty and filling. My 2 bunches of leeks totaled 5 leeks. I added salt and pepper (definitely needed S&P ). At the end I used my immersion blender to thicken up a bit. The kids were drooling over the pot with bowls in hand. This recipe makes a gracious plenty. We also topped it off with a little shredded cheddar and bacon bits:)

Unfortunately, the onion soup mix overpowered the lovely delicate flavour of the leeks. Next time, I'll omit and use fresh chopped onion instead of the onion flakes.

This is phenomenal. Only change I made was half & half instead of heavy cream. I'm a rookie but this turned out awesome. I

Big hit with the family. My husband said it reminded him of his mom's potato soup. I didnt like the onion soup mix in it (used 1/2 package), next time I will leave it out, and up the quantity of leeks.
