I thought this was really good. It was definitely quick and easy. I nuked the potatoes in the microwave because I was short on time and I didn't have chicken stock so I used chicken broth from a can. It made a great fast dinner that my kids gobbled down. Thanks

Oh my goodness, Diana, this was sooooo good. I think this is better than Tomy Roma's. My husband and I really loved this rich, creamy, full of potatoes comforting soup. I used probably 1/2 c. chopped bacon as garnish. Thanks for posting this.

I made this soup for Sunday dinner and boy what a treat! So creamy & satisfying and had a good rich flavor. I also garnished with more bacon and sauteed the potatoes in a few tsp. of bacon drippings for just a few minutes with a touch of garlic before adding the other ingredients. Served this with nice crusty bread. My husband absolutely thought it was the best I have ever made "if people don't like this then they don't know what good food is". Thanks Diana, we will be making a lot this winter.

This was very good. I didn't have any half and half so I used milk. My picky kids even asked for more. Thanks for sharing.

very good potato soup. I have had the recipe for years. You do not need to add the cream as if you forget to add you will not notice you missed putting in recipe, though it may make it creamier to the tongue I think it may be a comfort thing.

Great recipe! I added two tablespoons of bacon grease to the butter to increase the burning temp of the butter and made extra roux so I didn't have to add the cornstarch. Got extra flavor from that. Also instead of salt I added about 5 pieces of crumbled bacon to the soup and real mashed potatoes instead of the instant ones. Don't forget sour cream for the garnish!

Easy recipe to follow. Omitted the corn starch and instant mashed potatoes, as I didn't see the need since I had plenty of real potatoes which thickened it up quite a bit. Also added 2 tsp of bacon grease since I had it handy. Served it alongside a BLT and the entire family loved it.

Very, I mean VERY good soup!I used half of the potato skins as well, for added texture.

This is without a doubt the best potato soup to ever grace your lips!! Try it! You can also boil the potatoes...and it works fine too. Yummo!!

I rated this a four as everyone liked it and there were no left overs, but it just wasn't rich and potatoey enough for me. The amount of water seems too much. Next time I believe I would use milk, or half and half and milk in place of the water to richen it up.
