This recipe is so good! Just all american classic comfort food at it's finest! I have made it countless times and it is always a crowd pleaser. I set aside the green onions as a topper only because I am picky but other than that it is wonderful!!!

This was a very flavorful soup. My husband and I really liked it, although I will be making it sparingly and not using so much bacon. Hubby has high cholesterol :) Edit: I made this soup for the second time tonight and my kids loved it. Paired it with Irish Soda bread (with out the rasins) and it was a wonderfull filling meal. I did find it easier to fry the bacon in the same pot as the rest of the soup. Just cut the raw bacon, fry in the bottom of the pot, and with a slotted spoon pull the cooked pieces out when they're done. Drain the grease out and you're all set and it's one less dish in the sink.

Awesome recipe. I was searching for a recipe like the one my mom made when I was a kid and this has to be it. I doubled the recipe because it's winter time here and it won't go to waste with the cold weather abounding. I add green onion, white onion, cheese and celery to it too but that is just my personal preference. I recommend adding the potatoes at the very end if they are rather soft from overbaking the night before-like mine were:) Potatoes heat up quickly and retain heat for a long time so the warmth of the soup will heat the potatoes to piping hot in just a matter of minutes. Also, be careful with your salt, potatoes retain a heavy amount of salt(in fact if you ever put too much salt in a soup or such, you can add diced potatoes and strain them out after an hour or so and they will have absorbed most of the salt so you can start anew). You may think your soup isn't salty enough while cooking if your potatoes are in-just because they will absorb the salt out of the rest of the soup. But as the flavors begin to meld together, the salt will redistribute and mingle with the other aspects of the soup, especially the next day!

very tasty! the only thing i changed was the amount of margarine. i used the remaining bacon fat and supplemented with a little butter to make about 1/4 cup. i found that it made a decent roux and added more bacon flavour!

I hosted a baby shower with 40 guests. This soup was delicious. Everyone gave excellent comments. The only thing I did different was I served the soup in sour dough bread bowls.

I'm giving this 5 stars because it was a big hit at thanksgiving dinner. As other reviewers said, its a little thick and to some, it tasted floury, but if you cook the roux a little bit longer, you will lose that raw flour taste, just make sure you stir all the while to keep it from burning.I also sauted the green onions (tops and scallion part) in the butter rather than dumping them into the soup raw. I added a can of chicken broth when it was done to thin it out. Was really thick otherwise a terrific tasting soup. Oh, and honestly, I'm thinking of cutting the black pepper in half next time I make it too. Thought a tsp. was a little much.

Love this recipe, I use half chicken broth and milk I use a little extra then the recipe calls for so it won't be so thick. I also added some seasoning to it like thyme,parsely,onion pwd.,garlic pwd,ranch packet and pepper.

This is a great recipe. It really hits the spot on a cold winter day. Very filling and great taste. I would definitely add more potatoes, bacon, and green onions. The soup base is a little on the thick side. I think you could thin it out substituting chicken broth for some of the milk. I'm adding it to my favorites!

I used butter instead of margerine, and since I don't care for green onions, I sauteed yellow onion in the bacon grease and used that instead. AWESOME!

I put only 1 Tbs of Margarine but added 1 Tbs of the bacon grease, and added only 1/3 cup of flour. And instead of 7 cups of milk, I put 3 cups of milk and 3 cups of chicken broth. Soup turned out very thick. My boyfriend suggested adding a handful of frozen corn and it was an excellent idea as it gives a bit of sweetness. Will definitely make it again.

After reading all of these great reviews I expected this soup to be a winner. It is not. It is the blandest potato soup I have tasted. So disappointing!

I thought this recipe was really good. I cooked the bacon in the bottom of the stock pot, then used the bacon fat and a little bit of butter instead of just using butter to make a roux. No sense wasting all that liquid gold! I also made some additional bacon in order to crumble on top for serving.

I loved this soup. I let it simmer for an hour more to make the potato cubes that much more mushy since I didn't bake them before hand. I also used 1 cup of ranch dressing instead of the sour cream which still added the tangy flavor but also gave it more zest. I will use this recipe again!
