I tried this receipe and loved it! My family said it was the best potato soup they have ever tried. I did add some cheese, chopped green onions and bacon bits.

Awsome!

This recipe was great! I improvised a little and here were my changes: After adding the milk to the butter/flour cooked mixture (or roux), I added the seasoning packet from Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice (the Original Recipe). It has 23 Herbs and Seasoning and made quite a tasty addtion to the flavor of this soup! I added 1 cup of cheddar cheese instead of 1/2 cup too. Other than those additions, I kept the recipe the same. It was sooooooooooooo good! Then I served it with real bacon bits and cheddar cheese on the side for those who wanted to add them. It was a hit and I will make this again for sure. Next time I want to add some cut up and cooked baby carrots to add more color and vitamins.

The base for the soup was good, however, the potatoes were not done enough for me in the microwave, finished them in a pot of boiling water, coarsely mashed them and then added. Very hearty soup. Will make again.

I didn't like this one. I was looking for a more mashed potato then chunky one.

the whole family loved this recipe. I added bacon into mine which was a hit.

Vey bland soup. I made this recipe just as it is, and it totally lacked flavor. Plus, it wanted to burn, I had to stir the stuff constantly. I liked the chowdery consistency, so it has potential, but it takes a lot of dressing up. Also, I recommend boiling the potatoes, they don't microwave well.

Unfortunately, this was bland. I scaled the recipe back and followed recipe exactlyt, and then tasted it. My first problem was my potatoes stuck together in a big clump after cooking (next time I will add a small amount of water). Secondly, it was way too thick. I had to add alot of extra milk to get it to a soup consistency. I then added extra sour cream, and instead of more cheddar cheese, I added a jarred cheese dip to try and add flavor. Maybe this will taste better as a leftover.

I made the recipe exactly as given. Very quick & easy. The taste is good, but the soup overall is just OK. I don't really care for anything cooked in the microwave so I think boiling or even baking the potatoes until cooked would work better. Turned out a bit thicker than I care for and had to keep a close eye as it wanted to burn on the bottom of the pan. This makes a LOT of soup so if you're making for a small family I would definitely cut in half.

I found it to bland, but with a bit of added spices it turned out excelent. I added, Paprika for color, dill and parsley for taste. I would most definatly make it again.

This recipe was a big hit for the 10 ladies I served it to yesterday. I do want to say the prep time is inaccurate, it is more like 30-45 min.

Really bland. It needed a LOT of bacon and sour cream to doctor it up. It just wasn't that great, in my opinion, and the potatoes definitely need to be boiled until they are soft.

What a disappointment! I usually always read the reviews before investing time and money into a recipe. I also do not change any ingredients and then rate the recipe. If you change ingredients, you have made a totally different recipe and it is not fair to rate! Anyhow, I followed the recipe per directions with the exception of boiling potatoes instead of microwaving. Everything seemed great until I added the sour cream. The sour cream separated from the soup and was a big mess! Neither my husband nor I could get through it. Threw the whole pan out. I wouldn't suggest this recipe to anyone - big waste of time!!

This recipe is great. Skip the microwaving the potatoes and go boil them instead. I added broccoli and doubled the cheese, it is really thick and creamy.

This is a really great recipe. I don't suggested cooking the potatoes in the microwave though. They don't turn out as soft. I used powdered milk and it turned out just as good.
