Here's a recipe I created as an alternative to plain potato soup. Hearty and comforting, it disappears quickly when I serve it to my family on chilly evenings. Team it with bread and a salad, and you have a complete meal.

I love this recipe. I changed a few things to make it my own. I add carrots and subsituted some milk for whipping cream. It was nice and creamy, perfect consistancy and flavor. My new favorite comfort food! My family loved it! I can't wait to make it again.

oh yeah and added carrots
I left out the celery and added ham instead of bacon and it was incredible. My neighbor at the same time made it exactly as written and we exchanged tastes. They were both awesome, they both had a totally different taste but were both great!! Will make this over and over!!

I halved this receipe and it was great, I had tried several other potato soups with cheese and this is by far my favorite. I'm going to get rid of the other receipes and keep just this one! I really enjoyed this and my husband even had seconds!

I forgot...I also left the peels on the potatoes; and it seemed to be overly soupy; I didn't want to mash any up, so I baked 2 more potatoes in the microwave and added them to the soup.
This soup is very good. I tweaked the flavor a bit by adding 1 clove garlic, some 8 oz. carrots, extra celery, I used 3 cups shredded cheddar & I cup Velveeta and a little more pepper along with a tsp or so of Mrs. Dash Original. This recipe is a keeper.

Liked the simplicity of this recipe. I blended about half of it to make it creamier. The texture was good, the flavor was not outstanding. I added mushrooms to the sauteed vegetables and liked them in it.
