At last. A 10 star recipe! (Only 5 stars possibe) I try many different recipes that sound wonderful, with high ratings. They turn out to be a flop to me, as we all have different tastes. If you love potato soup, you'll love this one. Easy to make, delightful to enjoy. Make for dinner, have a nice slice of sourdough on the side.

Lacks measurements, luckily I’ve cooked two or three hundred batches and made to my family’s taste.

Turned out wonderful. My friend said it was even better than what my mother served him. Very easy to follow recipe and doesnt take alot of ingredients.I love soups and stews and this is going up there as one of my favorites.

I love this recipe. Like others have said, I add carrots, celery, and corn for a bit more flavor but yum!!

I made some changes as I always do with recipes including adding more things like celery, carrots and garlic along with extra seasoning to be a loaded potato soup. I used milk and cream and more chicken stock. I will be making again!

was very good add more spices

I used half and half instead of the evaporated milk and the butter because I didn’t use bacon. I added the base seasoning as suggested as it definitely needed more spices. The recipe is easy and I will make it again.

It turned out great! Easy to cook as well, my wife and I love this recipe!

So yummy! After reading some other reviews, added about 1/4 cup tiny diced celery and shredded carrots to bump up the flavor, turned out great.

So I made this tonight for me and my bf. To keep it short it was a great recipe… HOWEVER, it does need a great bit of help in the flavor department. I added some extras after reading tons of comments on this recipe. What I added that made it really good: about 1/4 a cup (or a bit more, to your taste, just keep adding and stirring little by little till you like it) of better than bouillon chicken, about 2 tspns of rosemary, about 2 tspns of thyme, about a 1/4 of a cup of regular old bay seasoning (trust me, it’s amazing! If you’re skeptical just add little by little to your liking), also added about 4-5 thinly cut pieces of celery which did a lot for the texture of the dish. Add all these ingredients while your potato’s are still cooking so that everything has time to sift together nicely. Also I used whole milk and the sour cream, I followed the rest of the recipe exactly with the exception of my add-ins! Will be making this again for our family night!

I used turkey bacon and skim milk, added about 1/2 c. chopped celery, carrots and frozen corn. …loved it!!!

Yummly User 2 years ago
The recipe was a good base but it was pretty bland I would add some celery, carrots, and more seasoning. I also mashed my potatos only a little to give it the consistency I wanted instead of using yogurt all and all still a good recipe.

Yummly User 2 years ago
Turned out pretty good, but I put my own spin on it. Added broccoli and more broth.

Yummly User 2 years ago
It turned out so good! I mixed the flour with a half cup of the milk in the recipe and added it after the potatoes cooked. Was a total winner at my house!

I haven’t ate it yet, I cranked up the servings for 10 people but it looks and smells delicious though. Added some diced celery, rosemary, thyme, grated robusto cheese and a smidge of extra butter.
