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.
