5 stars for simple and cheap! I normally make a potato chowder/soup that calls for a lot more expensive ingredients and my husband liked this one every bit as much. The only thing I subsituted was a beef bouillon cube for the chicken and added a bunch of garlic salt. I topped with shredded cheddar when serving. Thanks a lot!

This turned out GREAT!! This was my first time making any type of soup and it actually worked! I was so excited. The taste is wonderful. I used a can of light evaporated milk and threw in a bit of chopped up bacon. I was going to add cheese but I didn't want to overload the fat content. It was so nice to know that this beautiful, delicious dish was good for me! Right at the end, just after I added the flour, I took out about 2.5 cups and blended them down with my immersion blender. It made it nice and creamy and thick. My fiance never thought he would be able to eat "cream" soups because his body can't handle the fat content of cream. He was surprised to find out that he could/would eat this. Thank you for posting. I plan on making this numerous times in the future. I can't wait to share/show-off to all my family and friends! Whee!

I love how you don't need a lot of crazy ingredients to make a tasty soup like this one. I had this soup going on high for 4 hours or so, and the whole house was smelling so good the whole time. Instead of using a blender, I just used my good ol' potato masher and mashed most of the potatoes down right in the crockpot before adding the milk and flour mixture. I also added more fresh parsley and black pepper as well. I'll definitely try the cheese version next time, but even without the cheese, this is a very tasty soup. Thanks you!

This was pretty good- my main complaint was that it tasted like flour once that mixture was added. Next time I will "cook" the flour a bit w/ some butter before adding it to the soup. Thanks for sharing!

Brief comment - substitute the chicken with veggie bullion to make this vegetarian as it's tagged.

Every time I make soup I ruin it. Yet - I had a craving and had to have some potato soup. This turned out excellent. I used red potatoes, vegetable bouillon instead of chicken, and made a roux and mixed in the milk before adding to the crock at the end. It was a tiny bit bland - but I added a few spices to kick it up and it was great. Even I can make soup now.

This was good! It was kind of bland for my taste, and I even added some chopped celery and an extra bouillon cube. I added some extra salt and it made it much better. I'll make this again for sure!

Pleasant soup that works well. May need add extra salt depending on how floury your potatoes are.A good crockpot recipe.

I pureed the soup once it was done and then added a chunk of velveta and some evaporated milk. There was no need to thicken it. I tasted the soup and left it until dinner time. In the meantime my 13 year old arrived home from school and devoured the entire pot! Based on his review this is a soup he would like to have often. Thanks for the recipe.
