This was the most delicious recipe I have found! It tastes exactly like O'Charley's Loaded Potato Soup! Enjoy...because I sure did 
Thanks for the recipe!

This was delicious! Just as good, if not better than O'Charley's! I only made 2 changes- I did not have any white pepper to use, so I didn't use any pepper and I added 4 more oz of cheese - I love cheese and had a little extra to use up Will make again and again. I cannot wait for my mom to try it, we have to drive 1.5 hrs just to get this soup from O'Charley's. Thank you! I high recommend this! Also, to save a bit of time- Oscar Mayer REAL bacon bits work great!! Make sure it says real - not those fake bacon bits

This was very delicious. I did make a few changes: milk instead of half and half, 4 ounces of Velveeta, added a teaspoon of chicken base. My soup did get pretty thick, considering I didn't use the half and half. I thought the garlic powder added a great taste.I will make it again! Roxygirl in Colo.

This soup is incredible! It's way better than the soup served at O'Charlies. Like most others, I altered the recipe a bit. I used 4 cups half and half, 1 cup 2% milk, 1 cup chicken stock. Also, I used fresh black pepper instead of white pepper. In my opinion, It also helps to boil the potatoes in chicken stock rather than water. My wife says it's the best soup she has ever had! I will be making this again for sure! Thanks!
