This was tasty enough. Easy to put together, too. Very, very thick. Almost too thick. Very rich too. I wouldn't make this again, just because of the fat content. I will say though, that we got at least double the servings out of this than is listed. So hopefully, I didn't consume over 100 grams of fat last night....lol. I wish I had a chance to prepare it with skim milk, I think it would have not been so thick (almost pasty) and would have cut down on the fat a little. (I prepared this with a family member last night). I wonder if one could use light sour cream? Save some green onion for a garnish.

Delicious Soup, I set out to make something similar to Panera Bread Co.'s Baked Potato Soup - but this turned out so much better. I added extra cheese, extra milk, garlic, herbs de Provence, and (my secret weapon) white truffle oil. I know this will become a regular dish for my family.

Picky hubby loved this one. He even brought the leftovers to work with him so he could share it with some of the guys! Still good the next day but had the consistency of mashed potatoes. I had to really thin it out with some milk and chicken broth.

This soup is way good! I made only a couple of changes to the recipe; first I cooked the bacon in the same pot I used to make the soup, I drained most of the fat and then added the butter and made the roux. I then deglazed the pan with 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth followed by only 4 cups of milk. I think the bacon and chicken broth gave the soup great flavor. I have tried about 4 other recipes and they always come out tasting like mashed potato soup. I will most definitely make it again.

Excellent soup! The only thing I changed was I added about three times the salt...but then again I always load potatoes with tons of salt. This was fantastic and easy to make! Thanks!

My hubby LOVE potato soup. I made this 3 times in each winter month. He raved over this version! I added cheese to mine. Note: It was much better the next day!

Very good. I lightened it using 2% milk, 2% cheese, reduced fat sour cream, and only 3 pieces of turkey bacon. Still extremely rich! I think next time I'll leave the green onions out as a garnish as my two youngsters were suspicious of the green things. ;)

A++++ This was the best potato soup ever! We enjoyed it for 3 days, and had to pass the recipe on to friends who loved it too.

I thought this was the best potato soup I have ever had. I hate to say this but better than my moms. It's rich and creamy, the bacon and sourcream give it just the right pizazz.

I made a few adjustments to this recipe, but nothing too major. I used 2% milk in hopes of cutting back some of those calories! I also swapped out 2 cups of milk for 2 cups of chicken stock. I also used a light sour cream. I did the potatoes in the microwave to save myself time, and used a pouch of real bacon bits. It was a huge hit and I'll definitely be making it again

Delicious. I cooked the potatoes in the microwave. Next time, I will saute the onion and add a garlic clove to the butter. Omitted bacon.

This is a great potato soup recipe. I made this for my boyfriend one night and we both enjoyed it. It is filled with so much flavor and is thick and creamy, the way potato soup should be.

This soup tastes awesome! Great for a lazy Sunday afternoon. I made a few modifications to the original recipe to shave off a few calories. I only used 1/4 c of butter and the rest olive oil to make the roux. I also used skim milk, light sour cream, and turkey bacon. I added an extra potato to make sure it would still be thick enough since I was using skim milk instead of whole milk. My husband likes potatoes so-so, but he really loved this soup! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This is the best soup ever !!! Not low calorie but that's probably why it's so yummy. Combination of all the ingredients are superb and everyone who has tasted it say it's the best.
