  1. Needed a bit more flavor. I think next time I'll use broth instead of water. Oh and I made a white sauce w/margarine flour and milk then melted the cheese into it. Then added the potatoe/broth mixture into the white sauce.
  2. omw! I sauteed the veggies in the bacon fat before simmering in beef broth instead of the water added 1/2 parmeasn cheese 2tsp of franks red hot sauce...and wow! very savory!
  3. Both my husband and I thought this was bland. Perhaps with a bit of tweaking we could ge it to our liking. I think however I will keep looking. Thanks for sharing.
  4. I would give this 10 stars if I could. It is very easy to prepare and tastes like something you would get out at a restaurant! It's that good. The only change I made was that I used soy milk (unsweetened) because that's the kind of milk I have on hand. I added chopped bacon - Read more ...
  5. I think this recipe is amazing!!! I make enough to freeze about once a month. I've had my mom over for lunch and she loved it as well. People ask for the recipe all the time! The only real change I made was to use chicken broth instead of water. As well I always add - Read more ...
  6. Absolutely wonderful!!! Yum yum yum! I had to find a good potato cheese soup recipe when I found out the restaurant I used to eat it at used chicken broth (I am a vegetarian.) This was simple to make and so good! We used vegetable broth instead of water and we used twice as much. - Read more ...
  7. This potato soup is great and very easy to make. The first time I made it I followed the recipe as stated and the second time the only change I made was that I used Yukon gold potatoes and a little chopped onion and they both turned out great. The only other suggestion I have - Read more ...
  8. This soup was really good and is a family favorite. My husband loves spicy foods and this soup had just enough spices to please everyone. It is a really cheesy soup and very delicious! I top my soup with extra cheese bacon bits and chives. I recommend this soup to everyone and will fix it - Read more ...
  9. Very delicious but the recipe is missing some information. It doesn't say what to do with the milk. So I added the milk just before I added the butter/flour mixture and it came out just fine.
  10. This soup is sooooo good! As a vegetarian it's hard to find potato soups that have no bacon in them, so I made some myself. But couldn't have done it without this recipe! Only thing is it came out pretty thick- I had to add water to thin it out.
