I made this exactly as the recipe was written except for adding the salt (I don't cook with much salt). I tasted the soup right before serving and the only thing missing was the salt, so I added the amount called for and it was perfect. I was concerned about the dill, but it was perfect and made this soup from good to excellent. I loved it, but my husband who is very picky only said it was okay but could not pin point anything in particular that he did not like. I will make again and my husband will just have to 'suffer'. This is a definite keeper.

Awesome! The only thing I did different was reduce the salt by 1/2. Figured it could be added later to suit individual tastes if needed. Definitely a keeper.

We liked this quite a bit. Not my favorite potato soup recipe but a nice change from the norm. Followed the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing. Of course, it's better the next day.

AWESOME recipe! It was rich with the earthy flavors of the mushrooms and the potatoes: this is quality comfort food. I used minibellas and yukon gold potatoes and enjoyed the results.

THE BEST POTATO SOUP EVER!!! I consider this soup to be the best gourmet/comfort food I have found yet. My husband who doesnt like potato soup loves it. I made it to take to work and gave the recipe to several people. It was a Huge Hit!!. The only change I made to it was using onions instead of leeks. It is indeed restaurant quality, and when my sister finishes culinary school and opens a restaurant- this will definitely be on the menu.

Butter. Its what's for dinner. But seriously, this type of soup is supposed to be very rich and I think this is a pretty good recipe. However this: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hungarian-Mushroom-Soup/ I think is a much better one and adds subtle flavors such as lemon (for tangyness), soy sauce, and paprika.

This recipe was excellent with a few changes to make it a bit healthier. I used onions because I can't get leeks where I live. I increased the carrots, used reduced salt chicken broth, didn't add the extra salt, used milk instead of half/half and baby bella mushrooms instead of button ones. I got multiple requests for the recipe.

Absolutely delicious! It's similar to my special potato soup recipe with the chicken stock and dill weed. The only thing I substituted was green onions for the leeks.

I didn't have half and half so I used milk - I thought it was wonderful. Great flavor. Perfect. Just like the other reviews said. My family loved it, even my picky eater.

I made this soup exactly according to the recipe. Great flavor but a bit too salty. I used chicken broth concentrate which is has a higher sodium concentration than regular chicken broth. Next time I'll use no salt butter and lo salt broth. Also, when you add the flour/half and half mixture you really need to cook the soup a bit more to overcome the "raw flour" taste. Excellent starter with a little tweeking.

I've wanted a good potato soup recipe and I think I've found it! I made the mistake of using my slow-cooker and not decreasing the stock so next time I'll either modify the liquid or cook on the stove as directed. Even though it wasn't as thick as I think it was intended to be, the flavors were very comforting on one of the first very cold evenings in Upstate NY!

Really really good! Even my boyfriend, who doesn't like soup, thought this was great! This was my first time making soup and it was surprisingly easy! I think it would be hard to go wrong with this one. I'll make this again and again!!
