This was pretty good-mine came a little watery, but it still tasted good.

My husband and I thought this soup was fine although not outstanding. However, it was easy to make and the kids gave it rave reviews. In my book that earns four stars! The only thing I did differently was to take a potato masher to it after adding the cream and evaporated milk and mash about half of the potatoes leaving the rest chunky.

I love the ingrediants in this recipe, but I changed it to a stove top recipe. I just cook it until the potatoes are soft then add the milk/flour mixture for the last five minutes or so. My family absolutley loves it!

By our family standards, this was not a very good soup. I salvaged it with a good bit of shredded cheddar cheese and some added crushed red pepper flakes. It's not a recipe I'll be using again. Sorry!

This is a great, thick, comforting soup. My kids loved it. Next time I'll dice the potatoes a little smaller, though; I had to mash them when the soup was done cooking!

This is a great soup recipe - very thick! I ended up blending some of the potatoes with a hand blender before adding the cream/flour mixture near the end and I think that made it even thicker!!! I used thick cut bacon and it worked out nicely!

This made an excellent tasting soup. I didn't have condensed chicken broth, so I used 2 cans of non-condensed chicken broth + 1 chicken bouillon cube instead (still added the listed 2 cups of water). When the potatoes were done...blended some of them in the blender along with the flour and half-and-half mixture, and part of the evaporated milk. Then just put that back in the crockpot, along with the rest of the evaporated milk for 30 more minutes. Added a little more salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder to taste...and served with shredded cheddar and "Real Bacon Bits" in a jar, on the side. Also, wanted to speed it up a little, so cooked it for 3 hours on high, then 2 hours 20 minutes on Low in a 6-1/2 qt crockpot. Thanks for this great recipe Shirley! Will definitely be making it again.

My husband and I both loved this soup. I used fat free ev. milk and skim milk to lower the fat, but the soup was still very creamy. I also skipped the dill in favor of a little cayenne pepper. I also used low-sodium vegetable broth and omitted the bacon. Great recipe! Thanks!

I really enjoyed this recipe, it was wonderful for dinner on a cold day. When I added the flour and half and half I took a stick blender to the pot to eliminate any lumps from the flour and to break down some of the potatoes. I left some chunky potato pieces, just pulsed it a few times. Made for a wonderfully thick and creamy soup. Instead of adding the bacon at the beginning I set it aside and let people top their bowls with crumbled bacon and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Thumbs up from this household!

This recipe is a fabulous basic potato soup. I think it would be easy to add a variety of flavors to it (roasted garlic, other herbs, etc.) It needs more pepper definitely. Overall though I really enjoyed this. My husband ate three bowls!!

I made this yesterday during the first "fall-ish" day of the year. The family LOVED it! I used applewood smoked, thick cut bacon & it gave the soup a good flavor. Thanks for the great recipe!

I followed the recipe exactly and thought it turned out ok. After following the advice of other reviewers and adding shredded cheese to my bowl of soup, it made quite a difference and was delicious!

Wonderful comfort food! I thought it needed a good amount of salt at the end to really bring out the flavor of the soup.

This was the best potato soup I've ever tasted. The only changes I made was I used Chicken OXO just because I didn't have any Chicken Broth on hand. I eliminated the evaporated milk and just added more half and half. Then when close to being done, I added several tablespoons of cheese whiz. Not sure how much for sure, as I just tasted as I went along. Our friends were over for dinner he said it's just as good as his mothers potato soup and he says she makes the best.... I took that as a very high complement! Will definetely keep in my recipe folder for many more future dinners. Thick and creamy and cheesy.... so good! Thanks Shirley for submitting!
