Very good soup! Made a few of the changes the other reviewer posted and my guest loved it. The only problem I had was due to my gas stove. I had it on low on the smallest heat level and it still got a rolling boil and caused the cheese to separate. Still tasted good just not pretty!

Really good. Added 1 tsp onion podwer, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 cup carrots, 1 tsp dry parsley, 1 tbsp bacon bits. Did not puree anything. Cooked long enough that some of the potatoes just fell apart. Did not use heavy cream, used 1/2 c sour cream and 1/2 c skim milk. Sooooooooo gooood!!

Very good! I made this for an autumn party and it fit the bill. Next time I may have a side bar with different soup "accessories". the soup tasted good but I felt it needed some bacon bits or chives or SOMETHING else.

Fantastic potato soup! My husband doesn't like dill so we omit it, but it is wonderful even without the flavor. I also keep about 1/2 of the potatoes in chunks, rather than pureeing them. Comes out great every time!

This was my first attempt at making potato soup and it tasted great! I did follow the advice of others and added a little flour to thicken it up a bit. We topped with bacon and cheese. Will deff make this again! Thanks for a great recipe :)

THis was very yum! I used small white potatoes, and rather than pureeing it completely, I used a hand-smasher and took turns with my son mashing up a bunch of the potato. It was nice and think, but not too much so. I also used a whole 2 cups of cheese. . .tasted great!!! Thank you!

Perhaps it would do, if you left out the dill. You also DO have to put it in a blender, or it does this weird thing where the cheese clumps on your ladle, and just keeps getting bigger. Then, since you did put in blender, it's JUST liquid, no chunks of potatoes like we like. The dill was SO bad in this, I made a second batch, without it, then combined the two, and it was still ruined!

Loved it...added a few cloves of garlic with the onions, and then a bunch of chopped green onions after I had blended everything. My 3 year old can't get enough!

Fantastic! This is the easiest and tastiest soup I've ever made! The whole family loves it, even my picky little one! I didn't change a thing! Worth getting the bread bowls too, it makes it that much better!

I was disappointed in this recipe. It was good, but I was expecting more than what I got. I followed the recipe but found the soup to be much thinner than I like my soup. I might make it again but I'm going to keep looking.

WOW!!! This was the best potato soup I've ever had! I followed the recipe except my daughter had a potato peeling party and peeled too many. So I added more chicken broth and a little extra salt. In a homemade bread bowl...superb!

The was great! I used 3 C of potatoes since the reviews said it was a little thin. Other than that, I followed it to a tee. Topped it with some crumbled bacon. DELISH!

I wanted a crock pot recipe for a cheese potato soup, so i adapted this one. I cooked the onions as directed and then I added the onions, potatos, spices and chicken broth to a crock pot and allowed the potatos to cook all day. I also added choped fresh garlic and garlic powder. 30 minutes prior to eating I used the blender to mash up half of the potatos added the milk, cheese and some sour cream and let it cook on low for 30 minutes. I garnished with Bacon, scallions, cheese, and sour cream. The soup was nice and thick. A very good soup!!!

This soup was REALLY good! I did substitute garlic powder for the dill and veggie broth for the chicken broth. Like other reviews suggested, I also "reserved" half of the potato chunks and used a hand masher on the rest, instead of using the blender. The soup was not as creamy as I would like it to be (even after cooking longer) so I added some instant potato buds like a previous reviewer suggested which did the trick. I think next time I will add a few tablespoons of flour before adding the stock to see if that works. I also made it "loaded" by added some crumbled bacon, chopped scallions and shredded cheddar. Scored a 4/5 because of my changes but will DEFINITELY make again! Thanks for the great recipe!! UPDATE** Made this recipe again and used 3 cups potato and added 4 tbsp flour after the onions were softened and it REALLY thickened the soup up. Was able to leave out the fake mashed potatoes this time!

This was great! I added some shredded carrots and broccoli along with the onions, to add some vitamins in. :) My family really liked it! They all asked if I had bread to eat it with, and I didn't, so I would suggest a good fresh, crusty bread for bread-loving families like mine. Like others, I also just smashed the potatoes right there in the pot instead of pureeing them. And instead of the cream, I used half sour cream, half milk. Great soup, thanks!

My family loved this recipe. I also added bacon per other reviewers and browned the onions in the bacon drippings. I didn't have any heavy cream on hand so I used a can of evaporated milk. I also just used a potato masher in the pot instead of pureeing the potatoes. It was a little less "creamy" that way, but SOOO delicious! Will definitely make again. One note, I had to add a little milk to the soup for my one little bowl of leftovers the next day. It got REALLLLLY thick overnight. Was still fab though :)

Definitely very yummy soup. I used red potatoes and only peeled half of the them. I also used real bacon as a topping, using the grease to brown my onions. The two the suggestions I used were the potato masher. I also substituted the cream for the sour cream and milk. Very good. Even on the second day!
