I used 6 potatoes because they were small. Cooking them for 13 minutes was about 2 minutes too long but not a big problem. This soup was so easy and delicious. I added about 2 teaspoons of garlic powder for a little more flavor but all else was as written and it turned out thick and creamy!

This really needed something else to give it life. Perhaps garlic, maybe a touch of vinegar, anything to give it flavor.

This soup is really delicious! It needed a little touch-up (a clove or two of garlic sautéed with the onion and a little extra salt and pepper). Instead of microwaving, we boiled the potatoes and pan fried the bacon. We chose to purchase the mini gourmet red skin potatoes and leave the skin on and I'm glad we did. It gave it a little added color and texture. I will definitely add this to our repertoire.

I did not follow the recipe exactly - except to use the microwave for the potatoes and the bacon. As it stands - the recipe is very bland - so I added - 3 tablespoons minced garlic; 2 tablespoons Farmer Johns Potato Seasoning (you can find how to make it on their site) and 2 tablespoons Original Mrs Dash seasoning. Now this soup has flavor and lots of it. I also left the potato skins on as that is where most of the vitamins are. Boy - did this soup ever come out great. My next door neighbor loved it too.

Sorry but to us, this was just ok. Pretty bland and that's even after I sauteed the onions in bacon grease. If it weren't for the accoutrements ie: cheese, bacon, green onions, it would have been comparative to wallpaper paste - totally flavorless. I guess I should not complain however.....I have also made vichyssoise and it is bland as well.....potatoes are potatoes. Glad it did not make a large amount.....doubt I will make again.

I loved this recipe. I did substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. But that was the only substitute I did. I think I might have mashed the potatoes too much or next time need to add a little bit more liquid, as this turned into more over loaded mashed potatoes than a soup.

This recipe was very easy to make. Even though I added some garlic cloves and celery to the sautéed onions it was still bland. I had to add more cheese and salt and it wasn't a light recipe anymore. I will probably make again and maybe add some soup base or more garlic instead of extra cheese because my 4 year old loved it.

Okay, so don't give up on this recipe. It definitely can be tailored to your liking. I agree that it is a bit bland. I Boiled the potatoes in water and chicken stock. After the "soup" itself was finished (before I put in the potatoes) I added a little more chicken stock as well as seasoning to give it a little more taste and to reduce the thickness just a bit (it was a bit too think for me personally especially with the addition of the potatoes). You can definitely add some corn or any other verggie that you think may taste good with it. Again, its an easy recipe where you can tailor it to how you like it!

I'm sorry folks but this recipe is a total fail. I don't think the red potatoes have the flavor you get from russets and the sour cream lends a weird tartness to the soup. The overall flavor is just blech. Sorry!

This was a very good soup, and easy to make. There were a few changes I made. I baked the bacon at 400 degrees, for 20 minutes. Also, I boiled my potatoes in chicken broth/water mixture. The only thing I would add to this is corn. Maybe I boiled my potatoes for too long, but there was not quite enough texture in the soup for my liking. With all of that being said, this was really good, quick to make and is something I will be making it again.

I didn't follow the recipe, but I kept the ingredients/proportions the same. Instead of nuking the potatoes, I added small diced Idaho's into the chicken stock, boiled them 15 minutes or so, and then mashed them in the pot before adding the milk/flour combo. This made it easier for me as I was able to be out of the room while the potatoes cooked and I like the skin (so I could include bits of it that way). The recipe can easily be adjusted and I *will* make this again! A weekly soup night might be good for us, besides, I'm looking forward to learning how to cook a variety of soups. (Maybe I should warn my son!)

I made this last night and we thought it was good. I used baking potatoes, skim milk, regular sour cream and 3 or 4 large cloves of garlic minced. As other reviews noted it was quick and appropriate for a midweek meal, but we typically prefer things that pack more of a flavor punch and this was on the bland side. If I decide to make this again I will definatley not omit the garlic, sauting garlic with the onions really helped add some flavor to the dish.

You can't beat a soup that's ready in 20 minutes (and this one really is). I think it does lack a little as far as depth of flavor, but there again, 20 minutes doesn't give it much chance to develop any. We still polished off the pot and will make it again.

Pretty tasty and very easy. I made a few small modifications based on what I had in the house - skim milk instead of 1%, aged Gouda instead of cheddar, I added a little extra reduced fat sour cream because I was short on milk and used two extra slices of bacon. A good weeknight meal when you're craving something hearty.

Delicious, easy rainy night meal. Prep work was so easy. I subbed the bacon drippings for the oil, added a couple cloves of garlic and used my immersion blender to puree the soup. It was a bit too thick at first, but I added a bit more stock. In addition to the called for toppings I added a bit of roasted fennel (just because I'm on a major fennel kick right now) The added flavor was a great addition. Next time I'd like to try it with the skins on, just for a little added nutrition.

This soup was outstanding, particularly considering the ease of preparation and it's speediness. Only modifications I made were using beef broth instead of chicken broth (as I realized immediately before dinner that I was out of chicken broth!) and using a hand blender to slightly puree. Turned out delicious, after seasoning to taste.

I enjoyed this soup. I made it for a crowd after my daughters softball game. Everyone wanted the recipe! I quadrupled it and it made about 4.5 quarts. I baked my potatoes only because I had the time. I added butter (1 stick) and garlic (about 1.5 tsps) with the onion. I made it the night before so the flavors had time to bloom. You can't go wrong with this recipe ... heavy or on the light side! ENJOY!

I substituted fat free greek yogurt for the sour cream and was very pleased with the out come. However, the soup still tasted a little bland to me. I added about twice the pepper and a teaspoon of chopped garlic to help. Next time, I'm also going to put the bacon straight into the soup so the whole pot can develop that rich smoky flavor.

Yummy! I followed some of the other suggestions, adding tsp. of chopped garlic to the onion saute in the bacon drippings rather than the olive oil. The 1 tsp. chicken bouillon base addition to the chicken broth was a must. At the end I stirred an additional 1/4 cup of grated cheese and 3/4 cup frozen corn into the finished soup and heated through. Used all of the garnishes, increasing the bacon. Delicious!

I made this with the following modifications: 1. Boiled five potatoes in salted water 2. In with the half cup of onion, I added a handful of green onions diced and three garlic cloves minced. 3. Instead of simmering in straight olive oil, I added a little pat of butter and olive oil 4. Instead of mixing the flour into the milk, I mixed it straight into the veggies to cook it off a little. 5. I only had skim milk on hand 6. I mixed the cheese (Low-fat sharp cheddar) and bacon into the soup at the end. What I loved: bacon in the microwave- less mess, more crunchy The chunkiness of the soup was really good. Made it feel more hearty.

I, like some of the other reviewers, found this recipe to be extremely bland and added in a TON of extra salt for flavor (was on vacation with limited other options).

I made some modifications: Rather then cook the onion in olive oil and the bacon in the micro, I cooked the bacon in the saucepan then set the bacon aside and kept some of the grease in the pan to cook the onions. Also, I was out of chicken broth so I used beef - excellent choice. Lastly, I left the skins on - too much work.

This is a wonderful, quick dinner served on chilly fall evenings or Sunday afternoon sports time. I add a large stalk of celery to the mix. Adds that special 'something' to kick up the taste. Adding a bit of garlic is good, too. Open your spice cabinet and add a pinch of your favorite 'spicey' spice. You'd be surprised what this does. Remember, Potato Soup is going to be on the bland side if you don't give it a little 'kick'. My hubby likes its a bit thinner and my motto " Thicker the Better" !

Quick and crazy easy!!! However I boiled the potatoes and I fried the bacon.... Sautéed the onions in olive oil..... I made sure to add salt during the cooking of the potatoes and after all ingredients were added (usually eyeball it).... However I feel like something was missing though, just can't pin point what... But totally worth making again and "messing" with it.... Perhaps trying the garlic like others have suggested.

Delicious! Per the suggestion of other reviewers, I also added a few cloves of garlic and plenty of salt and pepper. Instead of red potatoes I used yukon golds and I suspect that many types of potato (or cheese) would substitute just fine. I also sauteed some broccoli florets and stems along with some extra olive oil for about 5-7 mins before adding the onion and garlic. I love how chunky the finished product turned out. Smooth pureed soups remind me of baby food but this is grown up and awesome! Also love the microwaving trick for the bacon. It makes clean up a piece of cake and turns out really crunchy. Perfect for holding it's texture in the hot soup.

This was a good recipe but I had to make some enhancements to it, otherwise it would have been too bland. I sauted the onion in the bacon drippings, plus I added 2 cloves of chopped garlic. It needed more salt and pepper than called for and I added the bacon and cheese to the soup to give it a truly "loaded" flavor. I also tossed in some chopped parsley and the green onions for color. Turned out great! Thick and hearty.

I also added broccoli and 1 tbsp chopped garlic (during the second step after onions before broth) and I liked the added chunkiness. Even though microwaving the potatoes leaves them drier, it doesn't matter once they are in the soup.

This is an easy recipe to make for a cold day. It is hearty and liked by most people. I also used russets and left the skins on for a more 'baked potato' feel. I used more bacon (because my package had 6 pieces). But I would argue that the recipe yields 6 servings instead of 4, so the 6 pieces of bacon seemed appropriate.

I am sure it will be fantastic. This is a great recipe for families looking for weeknight dinners with little prep time. Garlic bread and a salad is perfect. In addition, to save some time, I purchase jars of real bacon pieces (in the salad aisle next to the croutons) so I don't need to purchase a whole pound of bacon just to have a few pieces for topping this soup And if you are a vegetarian, you can purchase bacon flavored soy bits.

My small group at church was hosting folks from a group home. We decided to serve soup. Potato soup was my assignment and I like trying new recipes. It was a hit. One of the ladies said "This is the best potato soup I have ever had in my whole entire life" as she finished her second bowl. I added a tablespoon of what's called "Chicken Soup Base". It comes in a jar and has much more flavor than plain chicken boullion. My none-soup-eating husband ate it and said he might eat it again. Will definately make again.

This is so easy and really tasty, especially for leftovers. It's thick, so we may try to thin it down a bit next time.

This was really comforting and tasty. I was also fast and easy which will make it on the weeknight dinner rotation. The only thing I did differently was cook the bacon in the same dutch oven I made the soup from. Then I sauteed the onions in a little of bacon grease... which was excellent. I also recommend putting some smoked cheese on it as a garnish - it's fantastic!

I found this soup lacking in the basic flavor of most potato soups I've made in the past. I love the texture however so I'm going to saute more onion and add celery to the mix. I know you don't find celery in baked potatoes but I didn't think the soup had the richness of a baked potato as made by the recipe.

Absolutely the best potato soup I've had! Made this last night and the family just gobbled it up. My kids said "it tastes like baked potatoes with all the fixings", that says it all for me. Easy to make comfort food at it's best. No changes were made at this time , but may add corn to it just to change it up and keep it interesting. This has made it in to my all time favorite recipes file. We will defiantly be having this again.

Warm, hearty, filling, and a wonderfully light flavor. Perfect comfort food to relax and warm up with on a chilly evening.

I love this recipe! I'm a bit new to cooking, and I was able to accomplish this with no programs. I used bacon bits actually, and it still came out great. I put a bit more light sour cream in than the recipe called for.

This was fantastic. I used turkey bacon and this way you can have more bacon without the added calories.

I thought this soup was great. The recipe came in an email, and I had the ingredients so went for it. Used regular potatoes and regular sour cream and broth though. Delicious! Will definitely make again! Very easy dinner, served with bread. Also cooked bacon in oven, not microwave.

I followed the recipe except for substituting pancetta for the bacon. Cooking the potatoes in the microwave worked well. I diced them instead of mashing them. The soup tastes rich and creamy, and is very filling. I will be making this again and again.
