This was an excellent dish. I do have a few must try's for it though. Use half the milk and add a bit of cornstarch. Also, use some cheddar and sour cream flavored instant potatoes. I also used onion powder instead of an actual onion. It was fantastic my whole family had seconds and my daughter had thirds!

Very good base to work with!! Of course I made some changes, like everyone on this site. I used chicken stock instead of plain water, upped the mashed potatoes{instant worked great}, and subbed thin sliced cabbage for the celery for a colcannon effect. It turned out wonderful and I will make this again. Top with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon for the ultimate comfort food. My 2 year old loved it[well everyone actually}. It is rather bla as written so play with it, it can be a 5 star recipe with a few special touches!!! Thanks for sharing!!

This recipe as stated was just very "meh" for me. I then added fresh chopped garlic, garlic salt, celery salt and basil, and parmesian cheese, and it is much better. I also liked it topped with onion crackers. Bacon in the soup would be good too. Also, if you don't have mashed potatos on hand, it's alot of unnecessary work to make your own, and they just disappear into the soup anyways. Next time I will just thicken with corn starch if I don't have any mashed potatos ready. I will keep this recipe on hand and work with it some. It's a good base and you should try this if you are ready to tweak it a bit.
