This came out excellent for me. I also added a pack of diced ham to make it an all around meal. I will definitely make again.

The vegetables should definitely be sauted before adding. After 6 hours the vegetables were already complete mush. I did come out very thin and I had to add a flour/water rue to thicken. I agree with many others that it would be better with 8 cups of potatoes, some mashed.

Oops, forgot to mention in my review that I only *checked* it at 4 hours. I cooked it longer per the recipe instructions. (But, if I had left out the onions, I think it actually would have been done after 4 hours).
After 4 hours in my slow cooker, the potatoes were mushy, but the onions were still crunchy. I think I'd either saute the onions first or omit them altogether. Also, the soup was thin; I think I'd omit a cup of water when making again. But it was good and easy and I'll try it again with my suggestions.

Excellent soup- Very flavorful ! As suggested by another reviewer, I did saute the onion,carrots,& celery before placing it in the crockpot, & then I followed the recipe as written.

This would be better if the onions and celery were sauted in the butter to release their flavor before placing in the soup. Also the salt shoud be added at the last as it is absorbed by the potatos otherwise. It would also be better served with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon as add ins on the side.

I have made this soup for years. i cook my potatoes it only takes about half hour. then i drain them and in pan I take a stick of butter and flour and stir and gradually add the potato water in it then i add the potato, cooked celery and i add velveta cheese and some shredded cheddar cheese to that on low and add milk til its creamy. i husband likes to chop wild onions on top and i like bacon bits. its very quick and easy..i dont add boullion and i use regular milk but i bet some heavy creme would work too. i also use a potato masher and mash the potatoes up.

I've never made a potato soup before and made this for a church potluck yesterday. It was delicious and a big hit...I can't wait to make it again for my family. I used 8 cups of potatoes instead of 6 and it turned out perfect.
