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.
