For a delightful taste of the islands, try some baked chicken pieces with pineapple soy sauce! This is good over rice or even better over chow mein noodles. Aloha!

I skipped the chicken and reduced the size of the recipe since it was just meant to be for me as a side for a couple of days. I used one cup of chicken broth with the fat skimmed off, one cup water and one cup milk, two diced potatoes, one carrot peeled and diced, jalapeño sauce and a couple of celery leaves. After everything was thoroughly cooked and tender, I whirled the soup in my food processor rather than thicken it with prepared soups (I hate to use prepared foods). I finished it off with a swirl of sour cream. It was great!

I used plain soy milk and added some veggie broth. And added kale. But loved how easy this was!!
Billy Ortiz
I added bacon bits, celery, and garlic. No peas. Used chicken broth instead of water.

This soup recipe would be much better with fresh vegetables rather than canned.

I had leftover chicken tenders, potatoes and green beans w peas. I just cut the tenders into chunks, used two cups of milk. Didn’t use all the other veggies, just what I had leftover, added my own seasonings (I don’t measure, just a dash). Also, to thicken up the soup I used some flour, works great when you don’t want to wait!

This was a good base recipe! I added a lot of herbs including dried rosemary, oregano, and basil and fresh cilantro. I also added fresh garlic, garlic powder and onion powder, as well as two beaten eggs at the very end. One person’s recommendation to add cheese on the finished meal was fantastic! Tasted like a loaded baked potato.

I used a can of chicken broth and added a little water, I also used half n half instead of milk to make it a touch creamier. Great way to use up fresh veggies in the fridge, I sauted fresh carrots, fresh garlic, and onion. I then added a bit of frozen spinach for some extra color. A llittle bit of shredded cheese and sprinkle bacon bits on top. Serve with salad, easy weeknight dinner!

I modified this recipe slightly, but it turned out fantastic. Instead of butter, I rendered some bacon and used the bacon grease to brown my chicken in batches. Then, I used the bacon grease to also cook the onions. Near the end of cooking the onions, I added a clove of minced garlic and cooked that just until aromatic. Once the onions were cooked, I deglazed the pot with a cup of water and added the chicken, potatoes, a can of corn, a can of carrots, 1 cup half and half (instead of milk), the bacon I had cooked earlier, and then water to cover everything per the original recipe and then seasoned to taste with salt, black pepper, and Franks Red Hot. I left the peas out because I’m not a fan of those. The whole family (9 yr old, 11 yr old and both adults) loved the soup, especially during this cold weather!

By far the best soup I have ever made. I added a few cloves of garlic when Browning the onions, used the thighs from a roast chicken instead of breasts, homemade chicken stock in place of the water, I also added fresh chillis and diced chorizo for an extra kick. Garnished with habanero tobasco, a glug of olive oil, spring onions and seseme seeds.

I’ve just made this soup. It is delicious. I used chicken stock instead of water. I think next time I’ll use heavy cream instead of milk to get it a little creamier. I also added a teaspoon of 35 spice blend to add more flavor. It is yummy. The Oreo, cook and ready in time is also quite accurate. Nice!

Dawn Poole

Mary Mahoney
This was perfect with a few modifications for my family’s preference. Thanks !!!
Carrie Jimenez
I definitely give this four and a half stars. Only because I used chicken broth instead of adding water as needed. Loved it.
Joann Smith
I tried this recipe today and I must say, “This recipe taste amazing”. I was looking for an alternative to using egg noodles and this recipe thou timely was well worth the wait. I followed the recipe as listed without any of my own modifications and I must say I am impressed.

I’ve never made potato soup before and this looked like the easiest to try. I used it as a base and added a few more things as other reviewers suggested. I added a lot of spices, bacon, a can of condensed cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup and some shredded cheese at the end of cooking. It came out yummy! I didn’t want to wait for my husband to come home before I ate a bowl! Biscuits would go lovely with this.
David Davies MD
As is, I don’t think this soup would have nearly enough flavor for my taste. I made some substitutions that made it turn out AWESOME, although more of a stew than a soup. First, after I added the onion I also added about a tablespoon of minced garlic. I did not add water, I added chicken broth. And since I had it in my fridge and it needed to be used, I added some heavy cream. I wanted a stew-y consistency so I mixed some corn starch with the cream to thicken the soup up. Finally, I added just a little rosemary. The rosemary threw me over the moon.
Vincent Ramos
i did what it said and it was very watery. it didnt cook down very well and it didnt have much flavor to me.
Brian Ryan
Great soup recipe! I took the advise of others and added 1 can of chicken broth then 1 cup of water. I also added 1 can of Cream of Celery soup. I will cook this again. Very easy!
Victor Sanchez
I changed it up a little as well. I used cream of onion soup, chicken broth, and a bag of veg. medley. I cooked the chicken in olive oil instead of butter and tossed it all together turned out creamy and tasty! everyone loved it! thanks again!

It was wonderful, rich, hearty, flavorful and easy to clean up. I did make a few adjustments to work with what I had on hand. I subbed canned pumpkin for the peas, and skipped the onion and hot pepper sauce. I used chicken stock and the canning liquid from the veggies in place of the milk. I also finished mine by slightly mashing the soup so the whole thing was thick with small chunks in it rather then liquid with large chunks but thats personal preference.
