Marcia Kiesel knew this lush leek soup would be a great complement to left bank Bordeaux because of the wine's firm structure.

Silky Leek and Red Wine Soup

Too much bread, almost no flavor, nasty gray color (even with extra pinch of saffron). The first F&W recipe I've ever thrown out

I used "large" leeks and got just under 3 cups.  Try larger leeks.  This soup was delicious - I did measure all my ingredients, I did use dense peasant bread; I did rub it with garlic, I did use real saffron and I used a better than average red wine.  The taste was subtle.  Only complaint - my soup was mushroom (grey)-colored.

I was really looking forward to this one -- but it only tasted of bread and not much else.
