I've made this dozens of times - we love it! I use 1% milk and half the amount of butter to cut a bit of fat, and it's still great!!

In our area of the country we call that Dutch Potato Soup. I don't have a recipe.  It's served in restaurants here often.

My aunt made a potato soup with no milk or cream - more like broth. Anyone know of a recipe like this? think it had onions.

This soup is wonderful, however, I changed it a little bit and added the bacon and the cheese to the soup rather than putting it on top. I really gave it a great flavor.

This is my favorite soup! I do alter the recipe a bit- no sour cream (just don't like sour cream normally), canned potatoes (make it faster to make), and a TBSP or two of chicken boullion...this recipe is also very easy to cut in half!!!
