The texture of this soup is very thick and creamy, almost stew like. However I did not like the amount of onion in the soup. I personally do not care for onions. It almost seemed like it over powered the soup.

This recipe is great! The only thing is that I sauteed the celery and onions in bacon fat, (real healthy, I know) and thickend the soup with instant mashed potatoes. Turned out fantastic!!!!!!!

I craved potato soup the entire day and had a recipe in mind to use. I didn't have all the ingredients so did a quick search and found this. I wasn't sure how this would turn out. Some of the ingredients made me skeptical, however, this soup was a hit! I asked my husband if this was a keeper and he said DEFINITELY! My daughter said it was the best soup I ever made. Very good to warm you up on a cold night!

This is delicious soup, made with ingredients I usually have on hand. I used fat free half and half, healthy request soup, and 1/2 reduced fat cheddar. Turned out great!

I forgot to buy the half and half so I didn't add any to soup and it turned out wonderfully! I also used a can of cream of celery soup instead of the mushroom as called for in the recipe. And I did not use as much water to boil everything either. Instead I used half water and the other half with chicken broth. My boyfriend says this is a must make!

This is one of three potato soup recipes I fancied trying but I don't think I'll bother with the other two! This is a GREAT!! I omitted the celery as my husband doesn't like it, and used a mixture of heavy cream and milk as I didn't have half-and-half. I wanted a creamier, less chowder-like consistency so I smooshed the mixture with a potato masher. Tasty, hearty and warming. Thanks, Elizabeth!

I love potato chowder, and was ready for a new recipe. I used a lot less bacon (half) and threw some frozen corn in near the end. It was delicious.

By using the suggestions in the reviews this became a 5 star recipe. Otherwise I would've only given it a 3. I took the advice of others and sauteed the celery and onions with mushroom (use wild mushrooms if you can) salt, pepper, parsley, thyme, and 1/2 - 1 cup of white wine. Also I doubled the amount of cheese. I then reserved about half of the potatoes from the soup and added the rest to my food processer and mixed it in there. Then I added the reserved potatoes, the bacon ans a cup of whipping cream to thicken and heated it again. By far the best soup I have ever had, thanx for the great recipe my entire family LOVES IT!!!

Really yummy! I had to add more boullion, salt and sugar. Maybe I'm a taste junkie though. This made tons! My husband loved it! I would have given it 5 stars but I had to add seasoning and my husband thought it would be better with crispy bacon served on top instead of inside the soup. That's probably just personal preference though. Thanks alot for a yummy recipe! I'll be making this one again and again.

Fantastic. We didn't have bouillon cubes, so we used 2 cans of Swanson chicken broth+ 1/2 a can of water, and it was great. There's only 3 of us in the family, one of whom is only 3, and this made a huge pot of soup-and there was NONE leftover. We were stuffed! Thanks for the great recipe!

Great Soup!, I cut the bacon back a little (12oz), added chopped garlic and parsley. I agree with other reviewers celery and onion needs to be sauted first. Certaily feeds more that 10. Will make again and again.

WOW! No question about it, this is the best potato soup ever. I cut down on the bacon to 1/4 lb. and I used cream of celery soup because that is what I had on hand. It came out wonderful. I will make this again and again.

Excellent! Absolutley the best soup ever. And so easy. I used milk instead of water and a bag of hashbrowns work great if your in a hurry. Perfect for the crock pot.

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).
