I was rather disappointed in this. Lots of ingredients and not much flavor.

It was alright. Pretty bland for my taste buds. If I make it again, I'll def be adding some flavor.

Dear sweet lord this is the by far the best soup I have ever made!! I of course did make a few minor adjustments though. I only used about 1/4 cup of butter. I substituted about 1/2 bacon grease that I had left over. I added pre-steamed baby carrots, broccoli and red onion, plus 4 cloves of miced garlic. This was so delicious. My husband said this is the best soup he's ever had!! Thank you so much for this awesome recipe! =D

DEEElicious. The only thing wrong with this recipe is that eventually we ran out of leftovers. I used garlic instead of onions, because I don't like onions.

This soup was excellent. I made a few changes. Following another reviewer's alterations, I used 4 cups of chicken stock, 2 cups of 2% milk, and 2 cans of low fat evaporated milk. (I think the stock added to the flavor.) I used only a few pieces of bacon because that was all I had on hand--and I did not think the soup lacked at all. I also used half of a red onion (which I first sauteed in some butter ) because I did not have green onions. I added half the potatoes to the milk base, then used my emersion blender to smooth it out. I added the remaining potatoes and onions and boiled. (I like my soup thick with some pieces of potato.) I think this soup is well flavored as written, not bland like some others thought. I do recommend being stingy with the salt at the start, adding slowly until you get your desired saltiness. Overall this soup is delicious! My two year old licked her bowl clean.

This recipe was fantastic!! So creamy and flavorful! I ended up using 2 cups of 2% milk, 2 cups of potato water (the water I boiled the potatos in) and 3-4 cups of chicken broth. I seasoned the broth with pepper and a cajun seasoning mix but didn't add any more salt b/c the bacon and cheese were salty enough on their own. So delish, can't wait to make it again!!

Excellent hearty soup! I served it with a loaf of warm Italian bread and it was a deliciously filling meal. I did add more salt, black pepper and a few dashes of cayenne pepper as well and it was anything but bland. I mashed some of the potatoes and left others in bigger chunks for texture. The best potato soup I've ever made!

We made this exactly as it is written. This was thick, rich and very filling. Tastes great the first day, and reheats well and tastes great the second day too. It does a take a bit longer to cook than expected, so make sure to allow for a bit of extra time.

This turn out sooooo good. I tweaked it a bit using a can of chicken broth and only 2 cups milk. I also added a little garlic powder for flavor. Because I only used 3 potato's, I didn't use a full cup of sour cream. One thing for sure is I'll defintely make this soup again.

This soup was soo delicious! I did use more bacon that called for because bacon makes everything taste better! Next time I will cut up my potatoes a little smaller as I left them big. My husband and 2 year old loved it! Gives you that nice warm feeling inside. I will defiantly make this again and again

We make this soup every year for our Pumpkin Carving Party. It is always gone. This year I even got a few "Facebook" messages to make sure I was making it again.

I made bread bowls to serve this in, which worked out well. I didn't quite use all the flour or butter the recipe called for. We like a lot more salt and pepper than the recipe stated. Other than that it was pretty good. I also mashed the potatoes a little bit, not a ton, but just enough so that it wasn't just potato chunks floating in milk-based broth.

Great recipe. I teach Foods and Nutrition. I followed some of the other suggestions. Used less flour; about 1/2 c. Used less milk; 4 cups, then added some at the last minute to thin. Used a lot more salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. It is thick, but I liked it thick. Reminded me of mashed potatoes, a thinner version.

I added spices to make it taste good. It was a very thick "soup." It actually solidified in the refrigerator overnight.

As written, this was mediocre at best. It was very bland, so I added garlic/onion powder, lots of dried parsley, and a healthy shake of cayenne pepper. Also subbed some chicken stock/broth for about 2 cups of the milk. After modifications, it was delicious! It does make a pretty thick roux, so be aware that you might need to adjust your liquids according to taste. Perfect for a chilly night!

i gave this recipe four start only because i had to add some seasoning to make it not so bland. the thickness and texture is right on for me and my family though. i made last night with some ham that i browned first (did not have enough bacon) and then added right before serving. i also always bake my potatoes and then mash them a bit before adding, do not like chunky potatoes in my soup. also added a bit more cheese,but overall, great. my picky kids (husband and four year old) even ate it, and husband, who doesn't like soup, took leftovers for lunch today!
