My family loved it! I made two batches so we could have some for lunches. I didn't follow the recipe, though. In on batch, I used about 2-3 lbs of potatos, and boiled them like you would for mashed potatoes, then added one can of chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups of milk. Then 2 green onions and extra bacon and a handful of cheddar cheese. It would have been very thin if I used all the liquid and I did it all on the stovetop.

This recipe was so easy to make, and it was actually really good!! I recommend peeling the potatoes though.

It was okay, but somehow it turned out really thin.

This is a great tasting soup. I added more potatoes to thicken it up. I cooked this recipe on the stove as my microwave took forever to cook the potatoes.

Easy to make, and pretty tasty! Followed the advice in the reviews and added a can of 98% fat-free cream of chicken to help thicken the soup -- I can imagine it would be VERY thin without that. Also subbed turkey bacon, skim milk, and fat-free cheddar and omitted the sour cream for a healthier dish. I made mine on the stove, and added all the bacon and cheese into the soup, completely melting the cheese.

My husband was not a fan of this recipe. We both thought that it was not thick enough.

As mentioned, this recipe is a bit thin, I added a can of cream of chicken soup to thicken it up. Adds great flavor as well. I also added half a package of ranch seasoning. This absolutely makes the recipe. It's amazing. (I also added dried minced onion to the potatoes as I boiled them, but that was mostly due to laziness.) Am making this recipe again tomorrow for friends! Enjoy!

I was so good, I used half canned milk and half water for the milk, chicken broth and added garlic and chopped cilantro and provolone cheese with the cheddar. It was so tasty.
