Fantastic, full of flavor, quick and easy to prepare. Even the child that normally doesn't like potato soup loved this. Followed the recipe exactly except I peeled the potatoes. Baking the potatoes the day before made this a quick, easy weeknight meal. Thanks for the great recipe!

Delish! I made this as directed except that I halved the recipe for just 2 of us, and used a Mexican blend cheese. Simple, rich, and wonderful. Thanks Alley for yet another great recipe. Made for PAC Spring 2009.
