DIRECTIONS
Place cubed potatoes into a glass dish, and cook in the microwave oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until soft.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, then gradually stir in the milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Stir in the potatoes and onion, and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in the sour cream and Cheddar cheese until melted and well blended. Season with salt and pepper.

This didn't work out for me at all-I followed the recipe to a T and the consistency of the soup was gritty.

We loved this soup. I noticed too that it wasn't as thick as I like potato soup so I added a little cornstach/water mixture and that helped. I did not have onions on hand but I did have green onions so I added those to the potatoes and had them boil with the potatoes( I boiled the potatoes instead of microwaving them), because I do not like crunchy onions in my soup. But it really did taste like a baked potato. I topped it with crumbled bacon and extra cheese. We will be making this allot for those cold winter nights. It is a great comfort food!

Great soup! I quartered the recipe and it still made a lot. I used dried onion but it was still great.

What a disappointment! I usually always read the reviews before investing time and money into a recipe. I also do not change any ingredients and then rate the recipe. If you change ingredients, you have made a totally different recipe and it is not fair to rate! Anyhow, I followed the recipe per directions with the exception of boiling potatoes instead of microwaving. Everything seemed great until I added the sour cream. The sour cream separated from the soup and was a big mess! Neither my husband nor I could get through it. Threw the whole pan out. I wouldn't suggest this recipe to anyone - big waste of time!!

This was a pretty good potato soup and I will add it to my collection. I boiled the potatoes instead of microwaving and next time I think I will add the onions in with them. They were a little crunchy. Also, I don't recommend boiling milk. It curdles a little and it has to be stirred constantly or it burns. I would say this soup took more like 45 mins. to prepare.

Baked potato soup is a favorite at our house. It is always the first soup I make of the year. I try to use left over baked potatoes to save some time. I also like to mash some of the potatoes and leave some chunked to get a better consistency.

Oh yeah! This is what I was looking for, as my entire family is just sick & tired of beef (due to the fact that we eaten it everyday for the past week) this was a nice change. I think that next time I will add bacon as well. I found that by using the fine or fancy shredded cheese elimanates the "grittyness" (well it did for me anyway). YUM, thanks Claire!!

Oh my gosh! This is the best-tasting (reminiscent of the Loaded Potato Soup at O'Charley's) and easiest potato soup recipe I've ever made! I took it one step further and added broccoli and bacon bits to he soup while it was cooking. My husband and my three children (all picky eaters) love it!
