I came up with this comforting soup when I was crunched for time and wanted to use up leftover baked potatoes. Since then, it has become a mealtime staple. Its wonderful aroma always gets cheers from my husband when he arrives home from work. —Julie Smithouser, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Great easy recipe for potato soup! I usually leave out the Worcestershire sauce and the liquid smoke... The bacon gives it enough of a smoky flavor for us. Great dinner served with a salad!

I made this soup for a second time today. Because of a lack of time, I used a package of bacon bits instead of actually cooking bacon. It was just as good as the first time I made it! This is now my favorite potato soup recipe!

I made this to go with Sunday supper when my uncle came over to watch football. Everyone filled up on soup before the main course was served!
