Really good soup. I was looking for something to do with the potato-guts I had left over from making potato skins, and I found this recipe. Much more flavor than the potato soup I remember from childhood.

I have made this soup several times now and it is always a hit. Like several reviewers, I do not bake the potatoes first, and I leave the skins on. I also like red potatoes and tend to use them over baking potatoes. The last time that I made this, I used Canadian bacon (thrown in while the potatoes cook). Although real bacon tastes better, the Canadian bacon helped to make it a tiny bit healthier!

I made this for a friend who was sick and is super picky. She loved it, I thought it needed a little more salt. I boiled my potatoes before I added them. Overall it was easy and good.

I've been using this awesome recipe for about half a year and I don't know why I haven't written a review for it yet! It is by far my favorite potato soup recipe in existence today. I NEVER have leftovers when I make this, and it's SO easy to make. I always make it a little more chunkier than the recipe says, (I like to fit in as many potatoes as I can) otherwise the soup won't be as thick, and comforting. It will be slightly "soupier". Overall, I love this recipe and I will continue to use it for as long as I shall cook. Now I just have to wait out Summer, and hello warm winter soups! :)

Like one of the other reviewers, I used low fat cream of chicken soup instead of the half and half to make it a little healthier and the flavor was still great! If I were making if for company or a special occasion, I would probably splurge and use the half and half. Will make this one again!

really good recipe. I added dried thyme and basil and instead of using extra flour to thicken up the soup, I boiled an extra potato and blended it with 1/2 cup of the half n' half and mixed it in and it thickened nicely.
