A few simple changes and this becomes a heart healthy recipe. Use fat free half-n-half, 2% cheese, low fat sour cream, canadian bacon & cut the salt to 1/4 tsp.

I love this recipe and have been making it since I first saw it in the TOH magazine earlier this year. I don't peel or mash the potatoes; I just dice them. I use additional green onions, a little extra cheese, and smoked salt and pepper to add a bacon flavor. It's delicious, and my boyfriend asks me to make it all the time!

My hubbie rated this an 8, but he said if I had added mushrooms, it would have been a 10! I thought it was too thick and had to add red pepper to spice it up a bit.

This soup is thick and delicious!! My family's preference is for bacon right into the soup, it adds lots of flavor and texture. My 5 year old even ate a bowl that I thought he would never finish because it was a big helping but he ate every bite!! I will definitely be making this one often!!

I've made this many times since the Nov/Dec magazine. I've added ham, smoked sausage, even crab meat at different times. I've tweaked the amount of flour as I sometimes use cream or skim milk. This recipe is amazing!

Make this now! Easy and delicious...I don't typically like potato soup, but this really worked for me.

This was so easy to make and really yummy/filling. I didn't "mash" my potatoes and loved the texture of the small potato chunks in it.

My thirteen year old daughter made this for dinner. It was DELICIOUS! We used lighter ingredients and no bacon and all wanted it to go in our regular recipe rotation.

Fantastic potato soup - should be on page 1 of the list of recipes. I actually found this recipe in the Dec/Jan 2012 TOH magazine!! I boiled red potatoes, skins on(wall all I had), and the only thing I added was a tad of chicken boullion - fabulous! Then I decided to get creative and used some leftover crumbled ground round. WOW - my husband, who claims to be a non-soup eater, scarf'd this down and loved it. Definitely a keeper. We live in cold country, and it's perfect for lunch or dinner. I have another pot of this on the stove as I write this!!!

Quick and easy and full of flavor. I microwaved my potatoes for about ten minutes and I used low-fat ingredients to lower the calories and you couldn't tell the difference. This is a keeper.

I made this for Christmas Eve, along with chicken noodle soup and beef and mushroom wild rice soup. The potato was the favorite soup.

This was really easyand tasted great. I thought it was missing something though, but I'm not sure what...

This recipe alone is worth the price of the magazine! It is quick to make (especially when you bake the potatoes in a slow cooker), warm, cheesy, and comforting on a winter night. My sons either liked or tolerated it.

Great, fast, and easy recipe. My young kids loved it and they don't even like potatoes.
