Yep. Hearty and delicious for a cold day. I used an immersion blender. I also used a swiss/gruyere mixed cheese. Served with homemade bread for the win.
Very tasty. I didn’t have a vegetable peeler so I left the skins on the potatoes. This soup is very comforting not just to the palate but also the soul. My spouse and I are separated for 10 months…1,000 miles apart while he awaits retirement from the armed forces. This is one of the meals he would have loved to come home to so even though I was dining alone I had him in mind when I made it….so maybe I’m tasting the extra bit of love I put into it! 🙂
Absolutely amazing! I used 4 larger red potatoes so I had to add an extra cup of broth (chicken), and used only 2 cups of milk so it was a little thicker. I added diced mushrooms, chopped hickory smoked bacon and seasoned it with garlic powder, salt, pepper and rosemary and used Fiesta blend shredded cheese and topped with more bacon, cheese and chives. SO worth the time!
Yum!
The BEST Potato soup i have ever tasted. awesome recipe! my whole family loved it!
I tried this recipe and LIVE IT!! I will not be going back to my old recipe. I doubled the batch and it is a keeper !
Everyone in my house loved it.
This soup was really, really good! A couple of things, I tasted as I went along and I thought it made an awesome Potato Soup. I didn’t think it even needed the cheese. That said, I don’t think the cheese added much, except for calories. And am I the only one that thought the amount of parsley was waaaay too much. Either way, this was a terrific soup, with a few edits for my taste.
Perfect for a chilly fall day! I used cheddar as what I had on hand, but other than that followed recipe. Served w/ salad & French bread. Easy & delish!
It’s wonderful! Didn’t have veggie broth so used chicken. Loved it. Will definitely make again
would give it a 4.5 Pretty easy to make. I had to do some work-arounds because of limitations on what I could get a hold of, but the basic components are sound. I added broccoli instead of the celery and carrots and I used aged cheddar because it was all I could find. Both worked well with the recipe. Chicken stock also works fine, as the flavoring is more subtle compared to the cheese.
I used chicken broth and cheddar mix because I had it on hand and I had heavy cream that needed to be used. I added a little complete seasoning because I always do. It was easy and delicious and forgiving because I don’t really measure.
I added a little chicken broth and cheese. Very good. The additions made it much richer.
Amazing recipe. ??
I added a can of Creamy Celery Soup and my family just loved it.
No changes! Love it as it is. My family does, too. It’s perfect for cold winter evenings and keeps well in the refrigerator, easy to warm after an exhausting day at work.
i made this soup but substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth i also added broccoli to it i added the broccoli when i was boiling the potatoes. came out really good
I made this soup in the slow cooker and it was delicious. I used fat-free half n’ half instead of milk. My family loved this soup.
finally a perfect potato soup I can easily make. I make a few alterations, added garlic and fresh thyme. it was delicious!!
My whole family loved it! We added to extra potatoes since we have big family, and I served it with rolls and bacon and cheese on top!
Excellent soup. Simple recipe. I used cheddar cheese our favourite. Also sauted veggies in butter before adding broth. Easy peasy.
