Excellent soup! I made a few changes, as did many of you! I used turkey bacon (I served with a BLT salad); used less onion (I don't like onion very much) and instead of cream of chicken, I used Campbell's cheddar cheese soup as my base. I also used half and half instead of milk. It turned out delicious! My husband decided this is a keeper!

Tasty, simple ingredients, but probably won't make very often since it is not very healthy.

This was delicious! The only change I made was I used chicken broth instead of water when cooking the potatoes. I served it topped with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions. We can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch!

This was a great soup. I used turkey bacon for lower fat content, and sauted the onions in a small amount of water. I added more cheese than suggested, as my family likes more cheese. I also added cauliflower. I boiled it with my potatoes, along with chicken bouillon. I used cream of celery and cream of chicken soup. I also used some heavy cream with the milk. I served it with grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. What a great meal, will definetly make again!

Adding cheese and some extra spices (paprika and garlic salt) makes it perfect! I added 3/4 cup of cheese and drained most of the water off of the potatoes before adding to the milk/soup mixture.

So delicious! I replaced 1 cup of milk with sour cream. I used red potatoes and put two chicken boullion cubes in the boiling water with the potatoes. I also added shredded cheddar along with the bacon before serving. Many, many compliments when served at a church fellowship meal!

The recipe is great but it left out that you are supposed to drain water from potatoes. So I added half a block of low-fat cream cheese worked like a charm and was delicious

This recipe is delicious! I made a few changes based on the other reviews & it was a family hit!! I made the change of using chicken broth instead of water to cook the chicken in. I also used 1 cup of heavy cream & 1/2 cup of sour cream instead of 2 1/2 cups of milk. I addded 1/2 cup of cheese & 1/2 cup of milk. I also mashed the potatoes after cooking. Great recipe! I will make this again. Thanks for sharing!

I followed the directions and didn't add anything save for a few extra slices of bacon. The soup turned out very well as designed. Next time I may try adding more ingredients to change it a bit.

TO MAKE THIS EVEN BETTER CHANGE THE FOLLOWING: No dill weed at all Instead of 2 1/2 cups milk... use 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup sour cream. Add 1/2 cup chedder Add 1/2 cup milk Instead of water use chicken broth to cook potatoes Add a few shakes of paprika, poultry seasoning, thyme. Also add 3-4 cloves of crushed fresh garlic. Use full package of bacon instead of 3/4. Sprinkle more cheese TRUST ME... ITS MUCH BETTER!
