I agree - the World's Best Potato Soup! I am veggie so I replaced the bacon with grilled and cubed Halloumi cheese and also added some sliced avocado just before eating it. I used semi skimmed milk instead of the half and half and left the cheese out entirely (because I'd added Halloumi) and it was heaven. I will certainly be making it again!

This is wonderful and very easy. Had no problem with it thickening. Do agree that you need to mash a few potatoes up to thicken. Do try this. You won't be disappointed.

This is excellent! I used browned, sliced Kielbasa as suggested by another viewer and the whole family loved it. Will definitely be making this again.

This was a tasty soup... Although, I should have read the other suggestions and used the bacon grease for the onions and celery. I agree with the others when they said the soup was too thin. I actually drained some of the water... added more half/half and some cornstarch to thicken it. I also added a can of corn. When I make this again I think I will wait until the soup is done to add the bacon... (I like it crispy)... I served it with Italian bread and it was perfect for a cold winter day!

We absolutely LOVE this recipe!! The only change I make is that instead of cutting up celery and adding it, I use cream of celery soup instead of the cream of mushroom! It is perfect for our family. My 6 and 3 year old girls ask for it often!

Nice consistency and great flavor! Green onions sprinkled on top before serving would be tasty, too!! Adding this recipe to our collection!

Awesome!!! This is the first potato soup I made. But the best potato soup my family and I have ever had. I did sautee the onion and celery in with the bacon, and put half of the potatoes in a blender then added back to the soup. Very thick and hearty. This is one we will use again.

This was a great recipe to start with. I peeled my potatoes, then I fried the bacon and set it aside. I sauted the onions and celery in the bacon grease, then drained the grease off. After boiling the potatoes, onions and celery, I removed about 1/3 of the water. It seemed like it was going to be too thin for my taste. After combining all other ingredients, I simmered for another few minutes, then let it stand on the stove, covered. It thickened up really well and was wonderful with bread. Everyone loved this soup, and I will definately be making it again. Thanks!
