I have made this soup several times and my family loves it. As another reviewer suggested, I saute the onions and celery in the butter until tender, before adding the flour and butter. I serve with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar. Occasionally I add a big spoonful of nacho cheese sauce to my bowl for some yummy zip. This is a very versatile soup; so easy to adapt. It is also easy to double and provide a meal for another family.

I doubled this recipe and didn't include the onions. I added 3 cups of left over ham from Easter and instead of using water to cover the veggies I used chicken broth and reduced the amount of boullion cubes. This was my first attempt at a potato soup and it turned out good. Total comfort food. I think I might try the tips about adding some bacon next time..get a bit more flavor. I did make the cheese biscuits with it ..a MUST!

Perfect balance of tastes. Will certainly make again and again. Be careful not to cut your diced potatoes too big; a small bite size is good. Try adding a few finely chopped celery leaves for a little different texture.

This was very good and very easy to make. I did leave out the celery and celery salt just because I really don't like celery that much. Will make this one again and again.

This is the best potato soup that I have made. I have a large family and doubled recipe and also added ham. My youngest child is a picky eater and she even ate it. That makes this recipe a 5-star for me.

Big Hit! I made this exactly as the recipe says except with a tad extra onion and celery. I served it with toasted turkey, turkey bacon and cheddar subs. We all really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot!

Good flavor. I sauteed the celery and onion first in 2 tbsps of the butter and I used 1 cup of shredded cheddar instead of 1 cup of half and half. I didn't think it needed any more cream and I like cheddar cheese in potato soup.

I made this as directed except I substituted vegetable bouillon since I'm vegetarian. It took forever for the milk to thicken--I ended up having to turn it up to medium heat. I would suggest starting to heat the milk as soon as you put the vegetables on the stove. I thought the soup was a little bland--we had to add a lot of salt and pepper. Overall, though, it was pretty good.

This was good but there is a recipe I tried last fall that was better. Only I have no clue what recipe I used. If you have never tried potato soup before this is a good one to start with. It is very creamy. Good flavor.
