Great Recipe, everyone I have fed it to loves it. I make a couple of changes, I use a whole 10 lb. bag of potatos, mashing some andleaveing some boiled with skin and I also add two pounds of sausage.

I used chicken stock and milk. Also, I had to add a variety of spices to give it more flavor. The soup is a meal by itself. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I'll admit that due to lack of time, I cheated and used Instant Mashed Garlic Potatoes. I used a half cup of butter/flour for the roux and can't say that I really measured the milk; just kept adding until it looked right. It was just a tad bland for my taste so I added in some seasonings and a few drops of liquid smoke to help compliment the bacon. This is an incredibly satisfying soup and one that's going to stay in my recipe box. Thank you Carol!!

I have been making this recipe for years and all my family and friends absolutely love it! I have made this soup so many times that I don't measure anything except the flour and butter (I think it is important to have equal portions of these two). I use at least double the potatoes than the recipe calls for as I like a thicker soup. Note that the first time I made this I didn't stir the milk constantly and ended up burning it! So, definitely keep a watchful eye on your pot.

Great Soup!! It makes a lot too, we had enough for 3 days, but it was just my husband & I eating it. I followed the advise of putting potatoes in the microwave,10 mins, then baked for 20 minutes. I did this while cooking bacon(a full package) and making up my roux, and potatoes where ready when I needed them. When making the roux, I used a little of the grease left over from bacon,added green onion, used salted butter, and added just a pinch of Italian seasoning. Left the skins on potatoes, and doubled the cheese. NEver added any extra salt, but did add a lot more pepper (just kept tasting it). Soup was really thick until sour cream was added, plus it was a great flavor too. *** Had to add about 2 cups of milk the next day to thin soup out for left overs, but it still tasted really good*** Will make again, thanks for the recipe!

Amazingly delicious for such simple ingredients. I added three cloves of garlic, chopped well, with the butter, and seasoned with extra black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, and onion powder. I didn't have enough milk, so I substitute 2 cups of broth + 1 sodium free bouillon packet for 2 of the cups of milk. The scallions and bacon add a great amount of complex flavor. Will definitely make again!

meh- there was way too much roux- i would use 1/4 c. butter and 1/4 c. flour if I were ever to try it again. The soup was sooo thick, I had to add several more cups of milk. This only kept it the right consistency for a little while, then it stared thickening again. I also could taste the flour in the soup. I probably wont make this again.

AMAZING!! I was a little concerned that this might turn out like mashed potatoe soup but it was quite good. I took the advice of some other members and used a small amount of bacon greese when making the roux. I also put the green onions in while I was adding the milk and added one bay leaf for flavor.
