Loved it! I did follow the suggestions of 1.5 c milk and a cup of sour cream. I also added corn, peas, and carrots to make it more of a chowder. I also added a dash of thyme and a tbs. of pepper. I like it peppery! We loved it!

Mmmm! I did make a couple of changes. 7 cups cubed potatoes, a whole package of bacon (Cooked & Crumbled), RED onion (preference)& celery - cooked in the bacon grease (which I also poured into the soup), added one can of Cream Of Mushroom, lowered milk to 1.5 cups and added a 16 oz container of sour cream. Put Parmesan cheese in the soup, as it cooked (enough to give it a slight taste) and one cube chicken bouillon. Spices: Garlic, Penzey's Pasta Sprinkle, Chives, Penzey's Black & Red, a shake of nutmeg (for depth), and just a shake of the dill (not nearly a tsp). **Did have to thicken up with a bit of cornstarch**

Good, but a little thin. I even used only 2 cups of water. Used others advise and added more seasoning.

I personally thought this was very good. I made it for a sick relative but probably should have made something a little less heavy for her. Took the left overs home and my husband loved it. He's asking when I'm going to make it for him.

Easy and tasty. Wonderful combination of flavors. I took the suggestions of other reviewers and added some celery and some shredded cheddar cheese. I also used green onion in place of 1/2 of the onion. Some additional seasonings also thrown in: a little bit of rosemary, some celery salt, and garlic salt. This soup thickens nicely as some of the potatoes dissolve when cooking...very nice texture. Perfect "cold weather food." I garnished with chives.

Great recipe for us with just a minor change. Used one can cream of celery and a little more milk. The cream of chicken just didn't sound good to me. Didn't use the dill weed either. Delicious warmed over for lunch the next day! Enjoy!

Tasted wonderful!!! I substituted low-fat turkey bacon and that got rid of the bacon grease. i just cooked the onion in a non-stick pan with a little non-stick spray. Still tasted excellent.

this recipe was so easy and delicious. i did modify it a bit but this was a great base recipe. I added celery and sauted the celery and onion in garlic butter. I cooked the potatoes seperatley and added a couple of tsps of liquid smoke to the potatoes. i reduced the milk to about one cup and added about 2 ounces velveeta and 2 ounces pepper jack cheese. I also added butter, garlic, and liquid smoke to the soup, along with several other spices. Dont be afraid to spice this one up a bit. But the cheese definately added the right consistency.

This potato soup was very good. This was my first attempt at any kind of soup and it turned out delicious. It wasn't as thick as I had hoped it would be which is why I only gave 4 stars. I did add garlic and celery with the onions when you sautee. I had shredded cheddar and crumpled bacon to put on top each individual bowl. This was good and I will make it again.

Amazing! I did mash the potatoes as I don't care for the consistency of chunky potato soup, but doing this makes it almost identical to my favorite Irish restaurant's potato soup. Of course, the addition of bacon and cheese (I took others' advice and added it as a garnish) made it a little more "American" but you can't go wrong with those two ingredients on anything. This is going into my monthly rotation for sure! Thanks Amanda!

I tried this soup and it was delicious. I even got my mother to try it and she loved it. She does not like soup. She even had seconds. I made it without the dill weed and it was still great.

This recipe was really good. It was super super easy! We added a little bit of parmesan cheese at the end, with the bacon. (And we used canadian bacon for a healthier option) I won't say it's the best I've ever had, but it's the best potato soup I've ever made!

I am a huge potato soup fan. So I was a little unsure as to how good this would be. This might be my favorite potato soup EVER! We all loved it. I covered the potatoes with just enough water to cook them and I didn't drain the water (like the other person said) it wasn't necessary. Plus, that would've drained off the onions. Instead of 2 1/2 cups of milk, I used
