This was great soup! I did make some alterations. I added about 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I do that with just about everything) and 2 cups of cubed ham. Then when I added the milk and flour I also added 1 1/2 cups velveeta. I made it in the crockpot. I put everything but the flour, milk, and cheese in, then about an hour before the potatoes were done, I added them. It took about 7-8 hours on low with the potatoes in one inch dices. Oh, and I used chicken stock in place of the water and boullion. Thanks!

This soup is outstanding! It tastes great and is very easy to make. I did not add the flour, instead I put half of the mixture in the blender and pureed the potatoes - used them as the thickening agent. I also added a bit of grated cheese to the top of each bowl - really tasty! Thank-you for posting this!

Easy to prepare and delicious. I did leave out the dill as I had none. I also slightly mashed the potatoes and carrots in the pot before adding the flour. I added a very tiny amount of Sherry to the soup and I made medium sized dumplings right in the soup and placed one in the middle of each serving just because I love dumplings and they did go great and made a good presentation. Everyone loved the soup, even my DD who doesn't care for soup. Your recipe is a keeper in my house.

We love this soup! The first time I made it, my hubby texted me later & told me he overheard our kids talking about how awesome it was! :) I love that almost every ingredient is a staple item, and if you cut the potatoes into a small dice, it only takes 20-30 min to cook! Because of our preferences, I usually add corn and about an ounce of cheese, and some garlic salt. We also added Italian sausage instead of bacon once. And, in a pinch, you can decrease the amount of milk some and increase the broth. Fantastic as written, but extremely versatile! Thanks!! This has become a regular favorite!
