This is a great soup to start with but if you like your potato soup white thick and creamy you will have to modify this a bit. I didn't use the flour, paprika or water. Just cook the veggies right in the milk. On the side I mixed sour cream (x2), 8oz. cream cheese, salt, pepper, Garlic salt and powder, and half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese. when the veggies were cooked I stirred this in to the with the milk. I removed it from the heat and added the bacon right to the pot. I also stirred in some butter to round out the creamy texture. I let the soup stand for ten to fifteen minutes and it did indeed thicken and was the best potato soup I have ever had! All together with prep and cooking it took about an hour! I really encourage you to try this again!

I made this but made some adjustments: I peeled and cut 5 large potatoes, used a bag of frozen cut carrots, 3-1/4C of water, 2C of milk, 1C of whipping cream, 1C of sour cream, 1T onion powder, 1/2T celery salt, 2T flour, 1 bag of cooked diced ham, and 2 chicken boulion cubes. I combined all ingredients into crock pot and set on high. Soup is done when potatoes and carrots are soft.

I love this soup, it is so easy, creamy and delicious. I used to make it at a bar that I was a short order cook for. It was always a BIG hit. The bacon can be substituted with ham.

i think this soup came out very well. I tweaked it a bit. I used chicken broth instead of water, a couple xtra potatoes, whole milk and heavy cream. I also added some hungry jack potato flakes and a pinch more of flour and wisked that into the soup well. Seasoned with garlic and onion powder as well. Came out creamy and very tasty!

Easy to make. Used smoked paprika and 1/2 tap celery salt since I didn't have celery on hand. Great smoky Bacon flavor. My wife who isn't a potato afficienado, made a point of letting me know she'd like this again!
