BEST POTATO SOUP RECIPE EVER!!!!! All caps because yes, I am yelling this for the whole internet to hear! My 3 yo looked at the raw potatoes and proclaimed that he wasn’t eating that. I gave him a taste 1/2 way through and he was sold. At the end of the cook time he was begging for more. Oh Yeah!

Hi!
I want to make this. I have some leftover rotisserie chicken. Can I add that to this recipe and, if so, when? Thanks!

l have loved potato soup for as long as I can remember, and I'm 77. My Mom's was plain. potatoes, onion, water, a can of evaporated milk salt and pepper. It tasted delicious to me. After I was grown I started adding things and trying different recipes. This recipe is easy and very delicious . Thank you

this is a really good soup as is, but using it as a “base’ amps it up by 1000x. i ended up adding even more garlic, soy sauce for umami, and i fried a pound of spicy ground italian sausage for this. i recommend kale or spinach as well for a full bodied and nutrient packed soup. not to mention, it only takes 30 mins to an hour for this to really come together with simmering, compared to some soups that absolutely take all day. incredibly delicious, will be making again.

Absolutely loved! As a broke college student this recipe is good value and still provides me with a balanced meal. I was wondering though would you recommend freezing this if I made too much 😅

This is by far the most flavorful potato soup we’ve ever tasted. It’s a keeper. I only wish I would’ve tripled the recipe!!!

I made this recipe a few times and I've learned how to adjust for my family. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely delicious as is. But I did have to make a few adjustments for my family preferences. ****This is not a negative review. The recipe is amazing! I'm only commenting the adjustments my family made based on our tastes**** Number one, I either double the bacon or I add cubed ham. I have a son and husband. They want meat Number two, we like at least double the amount of pepper (if not 3x). The first time I made this, although delicious, we all added more pepper to our bowls. We like a kick to our food. Number three, the recipe requires blending half. Although it gives a delicious thick stew texture, within 15 minutes of being done, it gets way too thick. By the time my daughter was getting a second bowl, it was almost like paste. Flavor was still amazing but she had to thin it with some milk. My second time, I used my immersion blender on about 1 cup. It came out perfect and was still perfect 30 minutes later when my son decided to eat I had to remember adding the flour which will make it naturally thicken over time (plus my family adds crackers). If it's all being eaten when done, make as is. If any will be eaten later on, I suggest blending less. I consider these as minor adjustments for our tastes. I still highly recommend making this recipe. It's now my families favorite!!

In reply to Annemarie Joubert. I have also successfully frozen this soup and reheated it for work a few months later. Was just as good!!

This has to be the best cream of potato soup I’ve ever had. I’ve made it multiple times. It never fails to turn out amazing! I always add carrot, celery, and Italian sausage. Pair it with some grilled cheese and it’s divine.

Nice comfort food recipe. Soup with a nice piece of fresh buttered bread makes a hearty meal. The ancho chili powder adds a nice flavour. Thanks for posting it.

Oh, man!
I made this potato soup with about a 1/4 cup of leftover ground up ham, a Tbsp. of Red Pepperflakes and I substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream. Delicious! 😋 Thank you!
