Amazingly this is a really good potato soup. I have tried many that had no flavor to them. I'm glad you posted this. I will definately be making this again. TY again Idea for OAMC also. Froze in freezer container thawed over night in fridge and reheated on the stove. I would imagine you could reheat in the crock pot. Yummy!

This was really good and really easy to make. I baked the potatoes in the microwave to save time. I also added a small handful of cheddar right into the soup. Thanks for a great recipe!

Really good! Only change I made was to omit the garlic (forgot to put it in) and I used 2 tbs of butter. Thanks so much for sharing.
