You have to cook your potatoes longer than said in recipe. We really like the base recipe except for the not done potatoes.

Very Good Soup!!! The only thing is that the onions didnt cook through and were crunchy. Thank you for this recipe Claire

Great soup... i've made it many times and tried it different ways. I use only half the amount of potatoes otherwise I've found there wasn't enough soup! You don't need to use all the sour cream, also it's much tastier if you use half-and-half instead of milk. Yum... my favorite so far.

So good and filling!! I boiled the potatoes as normal, though, because I found the potatoes to be too tough when cooked in the microwave and it takes the same amount of time on the stove. I cut the sour cream in half b/c it's not our favorite ingredient, and I added double the cheese it calls for. With winter coming it's sure to become a staple around our house!!

This was a very good starter recipe! I added 2 chicken buillon cubes, red pepper and dill to taste, also we like the soup a little creamier(?spelling) so I used a hand mixer and mashed the potatos before adding the sour cream and cheese, we topped with bacon and green onions. I made extra hoping to freeze 1/2 and use later but we ate the whole thing!

This soupe is awesome! My mom made potato soup with a very thin base of mashed potatoes so I wasn't sure if I would like this made with flour instead. I have to say that this is even better than moms! I used 2 large baking potatoes instead of the 12 called for. It made 10 servings. Also topped with a little cheese and crumbled bacon. Loved it!!! (It did take a little longer to thicken up than the recipe suggested, but oh so good!)

Tastes just like Bennigan's restaurant loaded baked potato soup! We don't have one where I live so now I can make my own. I halfed the recipe. We still had leftovers for lunch the next day. Even better then! The 2nd time I made it, I cut back the flour to 2 Tbsp (in halved recipe) so it would be less thick. I also sauteed my onions in the bacon grease and added both to the pot with the milk. Serve topped with extra cheddar, scallions and chopped bacon and it doesn't get any better than this!

My daughter and I enjoyed this soup (my husband and son won't try it) so we had alot leftover. The problem was when we tried to reheat it all we had was a big pot of starch. So we had to dump it all. I will make again but only a very small portion.

This is just plain WONDERFUL! I doubled the recipe which makes a lot, so I gave some to family and they loved it too. I put in more onions and put them in the milk while it was cooking; I added a package of instant garlic & herb mashed potatoes which thickened it more, I put in some garlic powder and I added a lot more cheese cause it makes a killer cheesey potato soup. You can't just fix this and leave it on the stove, you have to stick with it, but it's worth it. It has endless possibilities for those of you who are creative. Best of all, I learned to fix potates without getting them too soft by microwaving them, now I can make potato salad! Thank you Claire, this one is a real jewel!

Yum- What a hearty bowl of soup! My hungry brother came over and was stuffed after one helping. I added celery and some extra onion, and it turned out fab. I think parsley would be a great garnish.

My teenage daughter (who doesn't cook!) made this tonight, and WOW! It was awesome! Thick, creamy, hearty, and smooth. She added broccoli. We needed to add a bit of salt, and perfection in a bowl! This recipe is definitely a keeper!

EVERYONE LOVED THIS!!! The potatoes didnt get quite done in the microwave so it took a little longer that I had anticipated but It was well worth it. I also added Bacos. It gave it a wonderful taste.

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.
