Oh yum! This is the potato soup recipe I have been looking for. No changes need to be made.

Upon hearing we were having potato soup for supper, my kids all groaned. However, they LOVED this soup! I would add another potato or two next time. I boiled the potatoes in bite sized pieces, which took less time than baking. This is absolutely delicious! I had a craving for it while we were in NYC so I ordered some from a deli. It wasn't as good as this recipe, and it cost $5.50 a bowl! I definitely recommend this recipe.

This soup was incredible. I didn't change the recipe at all and it was perfect. My whole family enjoyed it, including my young kids. Thanks!

I made this soup with only two changes, one was that I increased the number of baked potatoes by two, and I omitted the instant potato flakes....I just can't bring myself to do instant potatoes, and the other change was adding 1/2 tsp garlic powder. This soup was delicious, it was very creamy and very flavorful! I will make it again!

My family loved this soup. Easy and tasty. I did add a little water as I felt it was too thick for soup. Will definately be making this again.

This soup is very good, but instead of just putting the bacon and green onions on top when serving, I added directly to the soup. I also added additional salt to keep it from being bland.

Great as is! I've made it twice. The first time I threw in 1/2 cup of sour cream with the half and half. My husband had three helpings and we had no leftovers!

This was a very easy and great tasting soup! I do think for us it was best right after cooking vs left overs. I will certainly make this again! Thank you!

This was pretty good. The toppings are a must to really taste like a true baked potato! I added an extra potato and I still think it needed more chunks of potato. I served this with mini reubens. Yummy!

AMAZING!!! My husband and kids LOVED it!! The only small changes I made were that I used butter instead of margarine, because that's what I had on hand and I doubled the amount of bacon it called for. I stirred half of it in when I added the half & half and used the rest on top as called for.

I tried this tonight and it is a really awesome soup! The only thing I had to change was adding bacon to the soup as well as some cheddar cheese. Kudos! Thanks!

This was a good recipe. My husband loved it. I personally did not like the texture/tast from the instant mashed and did not need the additional cornstarch. It reheated wonderfully the next day.

Good grief! I have been making this for nearly 4 years (based on the date at the bottom of the printed recipe) and somehow haven't rated it until now. We've been absolutely loving it, but I do double the amount of potatoes used (for a chunkier soup) and microwave them when I haven't planned sufficiently ahead. Sometimes I'll use potato flakes as stated, but if there are leftover mashed potatoes on hand, then those will be subbed. I also saute a clove of garlic with the chopped onion. Thankfully it's a very forgiving recipe. I've had to increase the number of servings that I make in hopes of having a bowlful leftover for lunch the next day. Yum!

Very very good. I used an envelope of four cheese mashed potatoes instead of plain potato flakes to add to the flavor. I also stirred the bacon into the soup, and used sharp cheddar and chopped green onions for the garnish. I kept the skins on the potatoes because I like the skins. The consistency was perfect, and the taste was wonderful. I will definitely be making this again.

I didn't have a whole lot of time this morning to wait for potatoes to bake, so I roasted them. I used the Roast Potatoes recipe, which is also from this site. I had a couple extra potatoes so I just cubed them and threw them in, too, just to use them up. Plus, it made the soup a little "chunkier". I omitted the cornstarch only because I thought the flour and potato flakes would be enough thickener on it's own. I used Cracker Barrel 2% extra white cheddar. I did stir the original bacon and cheddar in, I just set bowls of extra on the table for garnish. We all liked this. I actually was able to make this in my crockpot without issues. Plenty of leftovers, which is always nice. I served this with Cottage Dill Bread.

This is one of our family's favorite soups. It is a great hearty soup with rich flavor and smooth creamy texture. I use extra potatoes since we like it "chunkier". I do omit the cornstarch though. I don't see the need for it - especially if using potato flakes to thicken. A family favorite!

hmm... when i read all the rave reviews i was SO excited. baked potato soup is my favorite, i always get it at my favorite restaurant. but this to me tasted more like instant potatoes than anything else, and i felt the chicken broth really over powered the flavor. i think next time, i will go with a recipe which uses real potatoes as the base. the texture was strange, runny/glue like. i would try another recipe if you're looking for a real restaurant style baked potato soup.
