I sauted some diced shallots and then added 1/2 cup Dry Vermouth to the soup. Wow! That made it seem like it was made from Julia Child!
DELIGHTY DELICIUOS

Trisha Ritter from SC

I think this is an excellent recipe. I have been cooking since the age of ten but never made Potato Soup. I hate it, but my husband loves it. I doubled the recipe for a large family and leftovers. Instead of oil though I fried the bacon in with celery onions and fresh garlic, then finished the recipe as specified, but let it simmer for about 40 minutes to incorporate the flavor. My family loved it. Even my three year old and I really enjoyed. It turned out quite wonderful. I will fix this again.
Wonderful.

Lucy Sharp from Lizella, GA

Christina Simms from Helotes, TX

made it today for my husband who is sick and he loved it. I myself am a huge fan of homemade soups and I also loved it.
Great on a cold day!

Pamela Murphy from Coos Bay, OR

This is a nice recipe, but to me it's not potato soup without celery. I added a stalk of chopped up celery and leaves with the onions to give it the taste I love.
Sounds easier

DEBRA Tracy from Florala, AL

This recipe sounds easier and better than the one I've been using and "doctoring". Thanks!
Yummy

GAIL ROSER from GRANTS PASS, OR

An excellent warmer upper on a brisk winter day! To perk it up a bit, add a sprinkling of grated cheddar cheese on top of each bowl.
Delish!

ann ferraro from Watertown, MA

A very easy and delicous soup to warm the family after sledding and skiing. Added some ham chopped up very small that I had left over from Sunday dinner. Everyone wanted seconds.

Terrific beginner's recipe for potato soup. I have used instant potatoes as the thickener and also served this topped with crisp crumbled bacon and cheese.

Great

VERY TASTY

BOB KELLY from Middletown, NY

I like to add a package of frozen corn to give it a little added flavor and crunch.
Outstanding and easy

melanie meadows from Pittston, ME

I love this simply and easy recipe , the only thing I had to change was the chicken and bacon . My daughter is a vegetarian and I had to substitute the chicken bouillon with veggie broth and I just added red peppers for a little color. other wise the recipe remained the same. I would say this is a classic must try to warm up your core on those cold winter days.
great

karen bellomy from EAST BERNSTADT, KY

We just loved this soup

Jocilynn Reis from Sacramento, CA

I like trying new recipies, I love potato soup, and when I tried this one both my husband and Myself not only filled our bellies but got warmed up insied and the fullness from the soup lasted hours. I garnished ours with sliced green onion and shredded cheddar. The cheese added an awsome flavour to the soup.
GRTEAT IDEA

CANT WAIT TO TRY IT!!!
Creamy Potato Soup

Gladys Dukes from Toledo, OH

Instead of the flour used for thicking I use instant mashed potato flakes and thicken it that way. It makes it very creamy and my family loves it with hot corn bread on a cold day.
great soup

marissa brewer from Fort Wayne, IN

wow this soup was great,my kids who never eat any kind of soup loved this. My oldest said it tasted like a baked potato.
Wonderfully versitile

Carol MOLMEN from Olalla, WA

And nutritious. Celery is great in here too. Corn can add a lot to it also. Even the variety of potatoes can change it - finnish boilers unpeeled are wonderful.
I called this quicky Potato Soup

Deborah DuBost from Deland, FL

This is very easy and the options of changing this soup is endless... I added 3 cloves garlic-roasted and 1 cup shredded monteray jack cheese along with chicken broth. Grated carrots with the bacon added on top gave some color and uniqueness....
Creamy Potato Soup

craig nygren from Farmington, NM

This was very easy and we all enjoyed it. I served it in toasted bread bowls. I changed it a little, I left off 2 cups of water and substituted chicken broth in its place, this seemed to give it a richer flavor. I also added diced ham in place of the bacon.

Best Dang Potato Soup Ever!

HEATHER PENLAND from St. Joseph, MO

This is the best potato soup ever. It tasted sooo good and it was so flavorful. Even though it didn't sound all that appetizing I used cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon bits and it made it taste so good it was amazing. My daughter who won't eat hardly anything goobled it up and it will be a new family favorite!
Creamy Potatoe Soup

Janet McDonald from Easley, SC

Great "quick-fix" meal for those chilly days. Easy enough for my youngest daughter (11)to whip up too. Added grated cheese and bacon bits, and a pinch of preferred spices for personalized flavor and extra zest!
Quick, Simple and Delicious

Trisha Crowe from WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI

This meal was ready in 30 minutes!! I substituted canned chicken broth for the water and bouillon, omitted the flour step and instead mashed a few of the potatoes to thicken and added diced ham instead of bacon. Next time I'll add carrots and celery as suggested. Definitely a keeper!
Potato Soup is my Favorite!

Jan Wilkins from BLYTHEVILLE, AR

When I was a child, my Mom always made potato soup for me when I was sick. So, I guess it is my favorite "comfort food" This recipe is very good, and it is now in my "favorites" file box.
THIS IS GOOD SOUP

Dawn from Houston, Tx

I wanted something quick and easy. This was it! GOOD SOUP!!!
best yet potato soup!

gloria buster from BROKEN ARROW, OK

I've always made potato soup with a white sauce but decided to give this a try. I did a bit of variation in that I processed some of it in the blender when it was done and added to the top not only the bacon but shredded cheese as well. We loved the flavor and I loved the ease with which it was made.

Creamy potato soup

Nancy Isebrand from Titonka, IA

This is a very good soup. To make it a little creamier, I added an 8 ounce package of cream cheese to the blender and added about 1/3 of the cooked potatoes and onions and blended until smooth, then put it all back in the pot before I put in the evaporated milk. YUMMY! I also added ½ tsp. celery seed.
