I scaled this recipe down to 6 servings. I used 1/4 cup of the reserve potato water in the soup. I also added 1/4 tsp dried cilatro. We do not use salt in our cooking due to sodium reduced diets. This is a perfect recipe for potato soup. You can add whatever you want to garnish. It is a healthier way of eating potato soup. Thumbs up on healthy cooking.

I really enjoyed this soup, but didn't understand what to do with the reserved water, so I didn't use it. I cooked bacon and used the bacon grease instead of butter for the roux, and then topped the soup with the chopped up bacon and some shredded cheddar. It was fantastic. I do have enough soup for the next week, though. My kids don't seem to be interested in eating it.

This was a really easy and tasty recipe. Loved it! Scaled it down to 4 servings and served it with shredded cheese, fresh diced cilantro and sour cream as topping options. Fantastic for a cold rainy day.

I wanted to try a new recipe for cream of potato soup so I picked this one, since there was a ton of onions. I must say I was very disapponited with it. It has no flavor whatsoever. I tried to doctor it up, but nothing worked. And like someone meantioned... WAY TOO much liquid :( If you are thinking of trying this recipe - don't!

this was so good, and so easy! I've never made soup before and it turned out great, even scaled down to 6 servings. The only changes I made were to add some garlic salt and a lot of table salt, and I didn't blend the potato mixture because we like chunky soup.

Perfect consistency for cream of potato. I tweaked it to make a cream of potato and broccoli. If that was your plan, too, keep in mind creaming and adding broccoli makes it bland, but Worcestershire sauce , mustard powder, and a LOT of salt (4 tbsp. in a 6 serving recipe) relieves that. Great recipe, very easy! I'll use it again.

I boiled the potatoes and onions in vegetable broth, added a bit of celery salt and added sauteed red bell peppers and swiss cheese at the end. Yum!

nice and simple pleasures are what makes cooking supper the best weekend activity. this great base could take many variations dependent on the cook's tastes. my version was with tobasco sauce & marjoram added to the base and broth while simmering. also i topped the soup with fresh red peppers, hot quality pepperoni and grated marble cheese. since i aim for a basic attempt at a recipe, i also used a potato masher to puree the mixture, preserving a great texture.

Oooh, I love potato soup and this was so easy to make. I made mine with half idaho potato and half gold yukon which makes the texture oh so good. It smelled great cooking, and tasted wonderful on day one and two. This recipe is also a good base for additions such as ham, cheese, etc. Thanks again!

Good Soup! The family loved it, but after I added the puree to the pot, the flour began to form balls, so I re blended the entire soup, and it turned out delicious. I also added Maggi Chicken Bouilon Cubes and left some unmashed stewed potato cubes on the side for an even heartier, thicker soup.

This soup made my house smell wonderful. It was the perfect dinner for a cold day. More importantly my husband says it is a keeper! I added 1/2 cup cream for every 2 cups of milk. I also added seasoning salt and garlic salt as well as table salt.

This recipe was delicious and cheap. I found myself adding ALOT of salt though to kick up the taste. Next time I may use some kind of garlic salt or season salt instead of just table salt. I also substituted 1/2 cup of heavy cream for some of the milk so it would be richer. I added some shredded cheddar to my bowl too and it was great!!!!!!!!!! This recipe has alot of potential!

Great basic recipe. I however added a lot of extra spices such as seasoning salt. Also I omitted the parsley, i honestly hate that stuff ha, instead I used another seasoning which is made up of ground orageno, parsley, onions, thyme, etc. Really GOOD!!!! Everybody asked for seconds, and even licked their bowl.

This is a wonderful, creamy soup, but like another reviewer noted, there is too much liquid when making a smaller recipe. I decided to keep the extra liquid and made the white sauce thicker, using three tablespoons each of butter and flour to two cups of milk. I also cooked the onions and potatoes in vegetable stock instead of water and stirred in about 1 teaspoon of ground sage (It brought out the onion flavor.) with the salt and pepper.

Lovely soup but beware - it doesn't scale down the 3 cups of juice so if you make less, reduce the amount of liquid you use as it was a little thin.

This is a great soup. The preparation time took a lot longer, although that might be because I'm a newbie to soups. It took about an hour just to chop everything and then another couple hours to do all the purreeing, roux, and simmering. Definitely leave enough time for interruptions or a few mistakes like I did. I was not sure what to do with the 3 cups of water so I repureed everything again with the 3 c. water. I like that the parsley mitigates the onion. I also liked that it uses some of its own stock. I look forward to savoring this yummy soup over the next few days.
