Bacon & Baked Potato Soup

This is the best soup. Restaurant quality. I didn't add celery but extra everything else. My kids love it and my so does my husband (he doesn't like any soup). I will make this again.

I have been searching for a potato soup recipe, and tried many, this one is the best! I doubled the recipe and also added more cheese and bacon into the soup at the last step of cooking. Loved the extra cheese added, but adding more bacon at the end, instead of garnishing the soup with it was not a good choice. The bacon became soggy, and also made it really salty, since you add sale to the soup. That was my fault, not the recipe, and I can't wait to make this again! Everyone loved it. I also added a can of cream of potato soup to thicken it up a bit. Served it with the quick cheddar bread recipe from this site, and it was also great and complimented the soup. The bread tastes a lot like the biscuits from Red Lobster..yum I'm sure the calories for last nights meal were high, but it was all tasty, especially on a really cold night.

Excellent! I made this for a work luncheon and everyone loved it and immediately wanted the recipe. I did make a few tweaks...first I doubled the recipe. I used heavy cream instead of milk, used 6 red potatoes instead of baking potatoes which I pre-cooked in the microwave. I mashed 3 of the potatoes to help thicken the soup and cubed the remaining 3. I used about 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese which helped to thicken the soup nicely. I also added some bacon grease and few dashes of tabasco sauce for extra flavor. It did take a lot longer than the 5 minutes to thicken, which may have been due to the fact that I doubled the recipe. My husband also really enjoyed the soup and he is not a soup person.

Super Delicious!

My family loved this soup and so did a few of my friends. I will make this again

I love love LOVE this recipe, have made it several times. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the tweaks I gave it. I used cream instead of milk, doubled the bacon and cheese. Not super healthy but super tasty!!

I love this soup and make it often. The only thing I do different is add a lot more potatoes. We like it thick and I add potatoes until it's where we like it. Delicious!!!

I left out the celery because I don't like celery and it turned out great. This is a very easy recipe! Would definately make it again!

Delicious!!!! Will be making this often!

easy and just yummy! no leftovers....enough said!
