You'll be surprised at the taste of this rich, cheesy concoction - it's not a typical potato soup. I came up with the recipe after enjoying baked potato soup at one of our favorite restaurants. I added bacon, and we think that makes it even better. -Coleen Morrissey, Sweet Valley, Pennsylvania

Too easy..too delicious...to die for. The next go round i'd like to add brocolli. I lowered the fat content by using skim milk. I even sprinkled some shredded provolone and chedder. Total comfort food. THANK YOU COLEEN MORRISSEY!

Wow, very tasty! But I always very carefull with Velveeta so I put less amount of it because I am always afraid to get very cheesy.

I usually love potato soup but my husband (who loves this recipe) made this for us twice and both times I thought it tasted just awful! I'm not sure if it was the processed cheese or if the potatoes were just too starchy...I know he would give this a 5 star rating but I guess not everyone has the same tastebuds! :)

This was delicious. I added some of the bacon grease to the initial broth and used an 8 oz bag of shredded sharp cheddar for the cheese. I excluded the carrot and green onions. Will definitely make this again.

this recipe is so good. It is very easy to make. I added more bacon and cheese and it was more of a cheese soup rather than more of a potato soup. Excellent!! Seriously is the best potato soup ever

Simple and quick to make. Of course more bacon is always better! I'm going to try half beef broth half chicken broth next time.
