Bacon, Cheese & Potato Chowder

I made this a few years ago and have continued to make it but only after a few additions. I add celery salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Some pepper also helps. Otherwise it is very bland.

My family absolutely loves this recipe. I usually have to make a double batch!

My fiance said he "loves this"! I made it for the first time last night and served in bread bowls. I made revisions to the recipe based on other reviews.

Super easy to make and modify. Family loved it! Added a little onion. Could easily add veggies too.

I absolutely love this recipe... I did however modify it slightly. I added frozen broccoli, and doubled the cheese. I also stirred the bacon and green onions into the soup instead of as a topper for a superior flavor!

Loved, loved, loved this recipe. I also did what many others suggested and used 1 ½ C. Of chicken broth and 1 ½ C. Milk. Also, added some onion powder and garlic powder and a little bit more cheese than recipe called for. Will be a regular in my household.

very easy to make but no one in my family liked it. could probably doctor it up to make it better.

This recipe is good, but not great. Easy to make, but rather bland by itself. Tweaking it could help a great deal: garlic or onion (or a dash of either powder), substituting chicken broth for some portion of the milk. Maybe adding some carrot or celery. Will make again, but definitely will be playing around with it to add some more flavor. Should be a nice, satisfying comfort food when it's got a bit more oomph.

I thought this was a great and super easy recipe. I love potato soup, but I hate the hassle of making it from scratch. This is a great compromise. I did make a few adjustments to the recipe as recommended in a few other reviews. I added some garlic powder and minced onion--I thought that really helped the flavor! I also added a little flour to help thicken it up. Overall, a great soup! I will be making this again!

This is a great, quick and easy recipe! Love it on cold days with the quick cheddar bread!
