This soup is amazingly delicious and so easy! I have been on the lookout for a "goto" potato soup recipe for a long time and have tried dozens, this one is the hands down winner. WOO HOO!!

This is a very hearty soup! It would be great for a cold winter night, or even in the fall! Next time I make it, I think I will reduce the water a bit and add a tad more cheese -- just to make it a little thicker, that's how I like my potato soup -- but just a personal preference! :) Thanks for posting, will make again!

DELICIOUS. Very full and flavorful soup. Perfect for a cool night. I cooked up some warm rolls to dip in it - pure heaven! Thanks for posting!
