I noticed all the reviews on here are from 2012 and before, but I just made this tonight. I did like others suggested and post it in a mini chopper instead of a food processor for a better consistency. I also added 1/4 tsp of turmeric, 1/4 tsp of Basil, a dash of extra pepper, and 1/2 tsp-ish of celery salt. I used Goya chicken bouillon and whole milk powder instead of low-fat. It's cup of soup brand quality and I'm going to enjoy taking this to work to keep in my desk. It's a keeper.

To this recipe I added 4 cups total of Potato Buds, 3 cubes total of 'Garden Veggie' bouillon cubes , 2 tsp dried shallot powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, an extra tsp of black pepper and no seasoning salt. I put it in the food processor till smooth and then into an air tight jar. 1/4 cup of mix to 3/4 cups hot water was a good consistency for soup and use less water for mashed potatoes with a touch of butter.

I made a trial batch, had a bowl, and made two more batches with half the seasoning salt. Smooth consistency, neither too thin nor too thick. Will keep some on hand at all times for midnight snacking. Thanks!

Definitely a bit too salty as written.. even my salt-loving grandmother said it was too salty for her tastes. But I'll probably make it again some time with less salt, or with low-sodium chicken bouillon.
