As my first attempt at potato soup, this came out pretty good! Instead of onion, I used two chopped leeks which were much milder in flavor. However, I made the mistake of using red (waxy-type) potatoes instead of white (starchy) potatoes -- the red potatoes held their shape even after 7 hours in the crockpot ... not that big of a deal, since the flavor was still fantastic. I just used my immersion blender to puree it further. Even after that, the soup was still a little thin (b/c of the type of potato I used), so I added a few tablespoons of instant potato flakes & that did the trick! I didn't have any ham on hand, so I added a little hickory salt instead, and some parsley flakes -- delish! Next time I make this I will use the right kind of potato, though! Thanks for posting -M =)

Awesome flavor. I am always looking for low fat recipes and this one is great. I doubled the recipe but only used 8 cups potato and added 4 cups cauliflower. I too added celery and one leek. I used the peppered country gravy. Even though some of my family members are not fond of cauliflower - they ate this soup up and loved it. Will make again and again.
