We really enjoyed this soup. The flavor was great, and it was very hearty. I would, however, recommend cutting the liquids in the recipe in half or doubling the potatoes. The first time we tried the recipe, it was way too thin. The second time we cut the liquids in half and it was perfect.

This is a wonderful twist on potato soup! The chicken broth and soup add a surprise flavor. The parmesan is a nice variation from cheddar. Simmering the cooked bacon in the soup released a smokey flavor. I did make two changes to the recipe. We're watching sodium so I didn't add any salt. The bacon and chicken stock made the soup plenty salty for us. We like thick soups so I only used half the amount of liquids. It was still a little thinner than our personal preferance but the taste is FABULOUS! Prepared for PAC Fall 2008
