I made this for dinner last night, and it was just delightful. It was a hit at the dinner table! I used a little less pepper than the recipe calls for, and I still found it a touch too peppery. However, others at the table added more pepper to theirs, so clearly it's up to one's taste. Thanks for sharing such a winner!

Rave reviews from the hubby and kids! I slightly modified the recipe to have equal amounts of milk, half and half, and chicken stock. When making your roux (butter/flour mixture) make sure to cook it for several minutes until it is just browned. This will not only act as the thickening agent, but will add a nice flavor as well.

I really did not like this recipe , I was really let down . I am still in search for a good potato soup recipe .

I made this last night and it was delicious! My husband said it was probably the best potato soup he'd ever had!

I have tried this recipe and I have to say it is delicious,and YES ! definately I would make it again

Very delicious, easy to make and my family loved it. Will definitely be making this again!

Best soup ever invented, can't wait to defrost the batch I put in the freezer. Creamy, bacony, heavenly. I added some more vegetables (carrots, corn, green beans, garlic, onion) so I wouldn't feel so guilty about eating all that fat.

I love this recipe! I make baked potato soup all the time at home for my husband and he loves mine but what he does not know is that I use a lot of short cuts to make it faster. I always wanted to make it from scratch but I could not find a recipe that I enjoyed as much as this one. I substituted the Cheddar Cheese for a soft Manchego cheese and my husband had his with Muenster Cheese and we both loved it!

This Country baked Potato Soup was great but it didn't have much (or any) flavor until I added the bacon, cheese, and scallions on top. After it was all finished it was very hearty and I served it with grilled cheese for some serious comfort food. It is very rich. My family and I felt pretty lethargic after dinner.

Recipe was great!!! Very simple and easy to follow. Only made 1/2 the recipe to make sure that I liked it and have leftovers. Hubby and 4 yr old daughter couldn't stop eating. Added a bit more salt and extra chives, but otherwise perfect. First time ever making a creamed soup. Will definitely add to my recipe box and make again.

I only had half the milk, added a cup of water, and the thickness was perfect. I pureed a scoopful of potatoes and added them back in to help with the thickening. Also added a couple tablespoons of bacon grease to the roux. Yum!

This soup is a good consistency when initially made, but if you have leftovers, it will thicken in the fridge. When reheating, if the consistency is too thick for you, add a little milk to get it the way you like it. It tastes just as good the next day!

I made this soup for work and when I was done and tasted it, I could only think, wow! I made that??

Loved the combo of creamy soup with the chunks of baked potato. The flavors are excellent. I served the soup with grilled cheese sandwiches because I have some VERY picky eaters that will not even attempt a soup no matter how delicious it might be. If I were fixing this for a group of adults, I think a small, simple green salad with homemade croutons would be a nice accompaniment. I can not think of any way to improve upon it.

Wow. This is definitely comfort food! My family and I loved this soup, and it got rave reviews all around. I wouldn't even change anything - perfect as is.
