I've made this recipe as written and it was definitely worth 5 stars. The flavor was perfect. This time, I added a couple items, looking for more of a 'Baked Potato' soup. I fried about 12 strips of really meaty bacon until they were very crisp, and then cut them up to add when I put the vegies back in the pot. I also added 8 oz. of Smoked Black Pepper White Cheddar Cheese cubes to the sauce as it was thickening. To make sure it wasn't too salty with the addition of bacon and cheese, I used a low fat/low sodium chicken broth. It came out just right and had a very creamy texture. It was a hit at my house! Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

wonderful! i substituted the half and half for 3:1 rice milk: heavy cream. the rice milk may have given it a sweeter taste, but it was delicious! the celery adds a nice touch. i also added garlic. i made supper for my community group and everyone wanted this recipe.

This was good soup. I made it exactly as the recipe shows, but next time I will definately be switching a few things. For one, use 2% instead of half and half. If you let the entire soup simmer on LOW/MEDIUM, it WILL thicken, just be patient. You can definately cut down on the bullion. Also, I thought it was missing something....ham or bacon. I added it after and it's great! Just throw some cheddar cheese on top, and it's fabulous!!

my dumb butt didn't change the servings and made the 12 when i really only needed for 3 people...lol..but it's ok, at least i have homemade soup for the next couple of days...pretty easy...but didn't turn out as thick as i would have really hoped for...and i didn't even use all the liquids...really salty @ first because of the butter...but now i know...cut down on the butter, and cut down even MORE on the liquids...added carrots, peas and couple of dashes of hot sauce in my bowl...nice kick..

Living in Northern Maine, soups, stews and chowders are a staple. This recipe was excellent with full flavor and a rich creamy texture. I did make a number of changes. I dug 8 good size potatoes from the garden. I added 4 cloves of freshly grated garlic and one fresh garden carrot, (grated) to the boiling potato pot. I strained the potatoes & veggies and let them "rest", for 2 hours. I then took the broth that the potatoes had cooked in and added the rest of the chicken broth. I used whole milk instead of the half and half. I took 2 cups of the potatos and veggies and used a potato masher and mashed them into the broth mixture. I simmered and then added the rest of the potatoes. Instead of flour, I simply slowly added "Wondra, to get the right consistancey. When piping hot, I added fresh cut basil and parlsey. This was an excellent recipe. Thank you

My family considers themselves true soup lovers so after our last trip to New Orleans, my 9 year old daughter who is a Food Network junkie begged me to try and recreate the potatoe soup we had there for lunch..We searched recipes and this one seemed good.The recipe is great but we kicked it up a notch.We added another 1/2 tsp of ground pepper,aprox 3 tbsp of bacon greese (it is so bad for you, but tastes oh soo good!)I substituted 1 cup of half and half for 1 cup of heavy whipping cream,and we added chopped carrots and sweet corn.I also added 1 tsp of garlic salt.Lastly we topped each bowl of soup with fresshly grated sharp cheddar cheese,scallions,and fresh bacon pieces. These added ingredients do not make it healthier but it was hearty and very tastey.Everyone asked for seconds.

Very good. I had to use almost 48oz of chicken broth to cover the veggies, I also added carrots. At the end I added 2 cubes, and 2 teaspoons of garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.

I adjusted this recipe a bit to our taste, and it turned out well. I added an extra potato, and pureed about 2/3 of the potatoes to make for a thicker base, and left 1/3 chunky to give the soup some depth. I also added green onions and some cheese. I used a bit too much broth, but that was fine since I just added more milk (ran out of half-and-half). Overall, we would make this again, thanks!.

Great recipe! I made this for the first time for my husband and his friend who re-roofed our house. It was chilly that day and they ate the soup up and each had thirds! Delicious! The only thing I changed was I left out the celery and added about 2 cups of frozen corn. Instead of the half and half I used skim milk and thickened the soup with cornstarch to make it a little healthier. Anyway yummy recipe! I will make this again and again!

I too trimmed the fat and salt in this one - I used 2% milk and pureed about half the soup to make it really thick and creamy. I also used homemade chicken stock, so no salt to worry about from the bullion.

I was having my family over for dinner and needed a soup course. This soup was amazing! I added a tablespoon of garlic powder, an extra 1/4 teaspoon of blk pepper (luv fresh ground pepper) and 2 chopped green onions. They all loved it! Even my picky brother! They've already asked that I make this soup again next weekend. This recipe is a keeper!

So, I made this a little different. I used a pint of heavy whipping cream plus a half a pint of water, chicken stock. Instead of making them separate, I went ahead and stirred in the cream into the potatoes and veggies. I sauteed the onions and celery with about 3 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tbsp of butter, in addition to the 6 tbsp. I will probably add more potatoes and smash them a little, and some sort of bacon or something. It was VERY good. Thanks!
