This will become a favorite for my family! I left out the garlic though because I am pregnant and just the thought of garlic makes me ill. Normally I love garlic...weird!

Excellent !!! But one tip, do not waste your time frying all that bacon, only to put it in the soup and it gets all soggy again...UGH ! Buy 'real' bacon bits(not those fake Bac-O's kind) and thow them in/or on top, when you serve the soup. YUMMO !!!!!!!!! :-)

AMAZING. I had never made homemade soup before, found this recipe and couldn't believe how EASY, QUICK, and DELICIOUS it was! I thought it tasted just like Panera, maybe better! I made it twice recently, the first using half and half the second time substituting milk (forgot to buy half and half), it made a HUGE difference, it was much thinner using milk, do not substitute :)

This was by far the best and easiest recipe I've encountered for Potato Soup.

This was a good soup, just not our favorite potato soup. We're still looking for that one, but this one was pretty good. It was a little thin...that's my biggest complaint. I hate having to thicken cheesy soups. In my opinion, they should be creamy and thick without help...but that's just me! I did saute my onion and celery to help them along a little. Thanks for posting. I probably won't make again just because we have a couple of others that we like, but this is a really good recipe, so definitely try it and decide for yourself if it's your "world's best!"

I have used this recipe several times. I also make a few changes. Use chicken broth instead of water. I use cream of celery and cream of chicken soup. Always put in extra cheese and use the bacon for individual topping. i think it gets to soggy if you put it in as the recipe calls for.

This was very good. I scaled down to 4 servings and used cream of celery soup on place of cream of mushroom. Added some shredded cheese and chives when served. Next time I will peel the potatoes (didn't like the peel coming off while eating) and try ground sage sausage. *update* I've make this again and added dried thyme, parsley and garlic to give more flavor.

Really great recipe to start with. I made some changes per other's reviews: Sauted the onion and celery in bacon grease before adding it to pot, as well as added some other seasonings such as garlic salt, fresh-ground pepper, and thyme. I also sauted minced garlic in the bacon grease, put it in the pot, and added half the chopped bacon back to the fry pan after the garlic and that really made the bacon taste even better. I used the garlic bacon as topping for the soup after it was all done - we liked the crispiness of it. My husband was craving potato soup and was very pleased with this, as was I!

I have made this recipe several times now for the concession stand at my boys wrestling tournaments. It is always a huge hit. People come back to the concession stand asking who made the soup and asking for the recipe. I "fried" the celery, onion and diced bacon together then added it to the boiled potatoes. Followed thre rest of the recipe, except, occasional used just milk instead of half and half and gotten just as much appreciation.

Very good, thanks for the recipe. The only thing I changed was to saute the celery and onions in a small amount of the bacon grease. I also used golden mushroom soup instead of regular cream of mushroom, because it's what I had.

I used the bacon ends and pieces and topped it with some green onions. (I had also used the suggestions and added salt, pepper, garlic, and sauted the onions and celery) It's an excellent soup! My two year old loves it too!

This recipe for Potato Soup is delicious! The only changes I made were to chop the onion and celery very fine and saute them in a little of the bacon drippings before adding them to the soup. I only added about a 1/4 cup of the bacon to the soup, the rest went on top when it was served so that it would remain crunchy. I used Cream of Chicken soup and 3 cubes of Knorr chicken boullion. To make it creamy I used a hand blender to puree the soup as a final step. I served it in homemade bread bowls to a group of 12 girls and they couldn't get enough!!

We tried this soup for one of our weekly dinner parties. It's a good basic recipe but our improvisation made it better. To accommodate the vegetarians at the party, we used a whole box of No-Chicken Broth which actually tastes the same and cooks just as well. For the bacon bits, we served them on the side to use at their own discretion. We did the same for the cheese because somehow 2 cups was not enough. When boiling the potatoes, we added plenty of garlic salt, chives, parsley and rosemary which gave the recipe a wonderful flavor. The cooking time was actually much longer than suggested because the soup resisted thickening. To give it that thick, creamy consistency we added half a tablespoon of cornstarch and mashed with a potato masher (did the job perfectly and was less to clean).

Very good. Very rich! Added italian sausage as well. We decided we liked the bacon better as a topping - you get more of the salty flavor that way. So I cut the amount added to the soup & saved the rest for topping the soup.
