This is easy and tasty. I followed suggestions and added 1 chicken stock cube along with the water (if you don't use chicken broth/stock then be sure to salt the potatoes as they cook for a much better flavor, not so bland), added cheddar instead of processed cheese (used about 3/4 c grated), added 1/4t garlic granules and topped with green onions as I didn't have parsley. It was really a nice blend of flavors and so easy to make. I'm making it again tonight -- twice in one week.

I was looking for a recipe to mimic my dad's potato soup. This didn't do it--it was better! (Sorry, Dad.) The texture was absolutely perfect. I left the potato skins on, used 12oz of Velveeta instead of the cheese slices (didn't want to open all those packages), and added a little garlic salt and black pepper at the end. I didn't mash the potatoes as others have suggested, but I did kind of poke at them with a spoon when they were really tender so that they fell apart into smaller pieces. Turned out delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

Family ate it up tonight. I did use chicken broth and sliced some carrots. Used cheddar and colby cheeses. Great for our chilly evening.

Wonderful! I also used Chicken stock in lieu of water. I also added a Tbls. of powdered Ham Soup Base. I used 4 oz of mild cheddar and 4 oz of sharp cheddar instead of the american. cheese. This is the best Potato Soup I have ever eaten.

I usually only leave reviews on really good recipes or really bad ones, this one is AWESOME, I've made it several times, it is much better with broth instead of water, also use at least 2% milk (whole milk/or half and half makes it creamier), just know you have to check your diet at the door!

Good but I think I may have used too little cheese. I used only half of what was recommended (because I wanted to reduce salt content) and although it was delicious, something was lacking...maybe I will try mozzarella cheese mixed in next time.

Yummmm!!! I boiled my potatoes in chicken broth, used Velveeta cheese instead of American, and I thickened the soup with instant mashed potato flakes. Then I topped it off with bacon bits. It was wonderful!!

I made this soup a couple days ago and we really enjoyed it. :) After reading the reviews, I wanted to use chicken broth instead of water, but, I couldn't find one at that time. So, I decided to use about 1tbsp of powdered chicken broth to add some more flavors to the soup. I agree with other reviewers that the use of sharp cheddar cheese will increase the flavor of the soup. So, I wanted to use sharp cheddar cheese instead of American cheese (slices). But, after thinking about it for a while, I decided to use American cheese slices. I did so because I actually made creamy soup about a week ago (w/ a different recipe) and unfortunately, for some reasons, my soup was separated at the end. I believe that the reason was that the cheese & the soup base wasn't blended well. I was afraid of it to happen to my soup again. When I put American cheese slices in the soup base, they melted perfectly. It was very easy to handle, too. I also added milk & flour mix to the soup (I added about 1~2tbsp more flour to make the soup thicker). The soup was very flavorful. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe :)

I used this recipe for a church fund-raising event. I substituted salted butter and a combination of whole milk and half & half. It received rave reviews from everyone. A huge success!

Great soup! I also used chicken broth instead of water and it turned out awesome. Didn't have any celery, so I added a little celery salt instead. Perfect for my husband with a sore throat. :)

Wow this soup turned out great!! I followed Dorese's modifications plus my own - used a slow cooker for about 6 hours on low(water, chicken broth,onions celery & potatoes) when tender added cheese - when melted added flour and milk mixture (added cornstarch also i like thick soups) then crumbled bacon and corn. It was wonderful. Thank-you!

Wish I could give this one 10 stars. It will be on my list of favorite recipes and I have been cooking for many years. I used Velveeta for the American cheese slices and could get enough of it!

Wow this was great! Although I made some changes. I was afraid it would be bland so I added seasonings, as the recipe does not call for any. Ok, so here is what I did, I followed the recipe up until the potatoes were tender. I then added garlic salt, salt, pepper, and a little bit of lemon pepper. I used sharp cheaddar cheese instead of the sliced cheese. I just bought a 1/2 lb chunk, diced it up, and threw it in when recomended to. I ended up having to add more milk, as there was not enough liquid. This was yummy! I served with baguettes from my local grocery store. You must try this. Not sure if my family would have liked it without all the seasoning I added, but that is up to you.

Excellent recipe! I'm glad I read the reviews before making, as I did make a few changes: I used a whole stick of salted butter, also added ground black pepper, garlic salt, and dried parsley and used sharp cheddar cheese vs. American. Got out my trusty potato masher and mashed up the potatoes before I added the cheese. Also took the advice of other readers and used 2 cups of water and 2 cups of chicken broth. For garnishes I put out garlic and cheese croutons and Durkee french fried onions and served with a loaf of garlic toast. Very, very good! Would definitely make again! Thank you!

I made this for my family and it was great for a quick dinner. I did change some things as others suggested, I used 4c chicken stalk instead of water, salted butter, no onions (DH doesn't do onions) I used a bit of onion powder instead (what he doesnt know won't hurt him right!), also some garlic powder, velveta instead of cheese slices and cooked up some bacon to put on top. It tasted very good - but I think if I would have follwed the recipe it would have been very bland. I will def make this again but I will keep my changes.
