Wow, I can't believe how well this turned out considering I didn't have a lot of the ingredients on hand. I wanted to use up a lot of veggies before they went bad, and this is an incredibly versatile recipe. I used onion, garlic, carrots, celery, & broccoli, with a box of chicken broth (4 cups), then evaporated milk, a little flour, 2c cheese, some cilantro & green onions at the end. My husband and I had thirds, my 6-yr old had seconds, and my picky 3-yr old ate some of it. This will definitely be a stand-by recipe for us. Thanks!

This was really good, but not the creamy typical potato soup. The prep work took a while but otherwise very easy. I used the bacon fat, but apparently too much as it pooled on top.

This soup was AMAZING! I made a few changes: 1/2 stick butter, 1 can Beef consomme, 2 large yellow onions, 6oz Cabernet Sauvignon, no salt/pepper. Then added a slice bread & 1/2 slice provolone on bottom of bowl before adding soup, then whole slice provolone & slice of Muenster & grated parm on top, which made the soup very hearty.
