Hubby really enjoyed this. I used about 2 cups of potatoes (1 large potato), 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp bouillon powder (trying to lower sodium content) & left out the celery. It only took 10 min of simmering time to get the taters tender. When I added the cornstarch mix (used fat free half & half), the soup thickened up QUICK! So I added the rest of the liquid. I used about 1/4 cup less half & half than called for by accident, but it worked fine! We actually didn't stir in the cheese; offered it as an optional topping--but hubby used some croutons instead. Thanks so much for sharing--it was rich, creamy & a great recipe.1Reply
