Hearty Potato Soup image

Having grown up on a dairy farm in Holland, I love our country life here in Idaho's "potato country." My favorite recipe for potato soup originally called for heavy cream and bacon fat, but I've trimmed down the recipe. -Gladys DeBoer, Castleford, Idaho

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth. I'll try it again with less broth next time.

This soup is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. It's so quick and easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I always have the ingredients on hand, so it's my go-to meal when I'm short on time.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's so creamy and flavorful. I like to add a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.

I'm not a big fan of potato soup, but this recipe is pretty good. It's not too thick or too thin, and the flavor is nice. I would definitely make it again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. It's also a very affordable meal. I like to add a little bit of cheese to mine for extra flavor.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The soup was bland and watery. I think I'll stick to my old potato soup recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out perfectly. It's thick and hearty, with a rich flavor. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a hit with my family.
