I did alter this quite a bit, but was a HUGE hit! I used baked red potatoes, sauted bacon/onion in the saucepan first, added rest & simmered for over an hour and then added a can of evaporated milk and 8oz of sharp cheddar. This will for sure be a new family menu item :O)

WOW.....I have never tasted potato soup as good as this. I will definitely be making this again. My kids and husband loved it. The only things I did differently is I added 1 chopped onion and instead of water, I just used all chicken broth. I also didn't have au gratin potato mix, so I used macaroni and cheese mix. It was wonderful!!!

Five stars after I tweaked per reviewers suggestions. I used all real potates and smashed up a cup or so then added back to the soup. I also added shredded cheddar, used milk instead of heavy cream and used additional chicken broth instead of water. I'd like to add a dark beer to this next time. Maybe some bacon per my family's request. Good starting point recipe!

I made this tonight.It came out amazing.I really suprised myself with this one.I've never made soup before,but it was seasoned very well. I sauteed onions and minced garlic before adding the potatoes and chicken stock.Tonight was pretty cold so I definitley enjoyed this meal.

Definitely will use half-n-half next time. It was very thick--although very good!

This is a great recipe. I'm trying to be healthier, so I used 2 cups of skim milk instead of the cup of cream, and fresh broccoli and cauliflower instead of the additional potatoes (I did use the dried potatoes that came with the au gratin mix). It came out crazy good. There are tastier recipes out there, but for how easy this is, and how flexible, it deserves 5 stars.

Good for a quick soup. The reheat was more like eating 'loaded' mashed potatoes, though. I added bacon as well, plus I used fat free half and half instead of cream.

This is amazing! I didn't use the Au Gratin b/c to me that seems like it's not a real potato soup. However, I added the little bit of extra cream ( 1/2 cup) made my own chicken broth ( 2 cups water + 2 cubes of Knox cubes of chicken) and although it's a bit extra watery, it's really really awesome. This is the best one for new beginners, like me. I tried a potato soup before but it turned out disastrous. Perfection.

I really like this recipe! I have made it several times and my kids go nuts for it. I do add just about 1 cup more water and season with salt and pepper. I serve it topped with shredded colby and monterrey jack cheese and real bacon bits. It's very quick and easy.

So easy and so good! Based on other reviews, I didn't use the au gratin potatoes, but just added extra yellow potatoes. I also added salt, pepper, and onion and velveeta cheese. Great Soup!!

Great recipe, very easy to throw together. Did not have evap milk so I used heavy cream in its place. I also added some fresh bacon bits 1/2 cup or so, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and 4-5 pinches of black pepper. I topped it off with scallions and it was great. Thanks for sharing =)

This one didn't do it for me. It tasted too much like liquefied potatoes au gratin, rather than a hearty soup.

This is the easiest and creamiest potato soup I have ever made. I will be throwing out all the old recipies. The only thing I did was to serve with a sprinkle of Bacon, Shredded Cheddar and Green Onion. This was even a hit with my 2 year old.
