I followed the recipe exactly and everyone loved it. My husband says it's the best soup he's ever eaten.

Since I didn't have green onions or cheddar cheese, I melted 1/2 pound of Velveeta in the white sauce and added freeze dried chives. I took it to a church dinner where they scraped the bottom of the pot!

A correction to the previous review. I used fat free sour cream, not low fat.

Delicious, I used low fat sour cream,1% milk, reduced fat cheddar cheese which I mixed into the soup with low salt bacon. I used these ingredients due to high cholesterol and hypertension.

This soup was soooo yummy! I used 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon like someone else suggested, and since we didn't have any potatoes baked, I just used boiled redskin potatoes. I will DEFINITELY make this recipe again!!

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!!
