This soup was a disaster! The potatoes never softened, even after cooking for over an hour. The flavor was also very bland. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra salt and pepper to make it palatable. I also think it would have been better with some fresh herbs, like thyme or rosemary.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this soup was. I'm not usually a fan of potato soup, but this one was creamy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely be making it again.

This soup is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my kids. I usually add a little extra cheese and bacon to make it even more decadent.

I've made this soup many times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so easy to make and always comes out delicious. I love the creamy texture and the hint of garlic and thyme.

This potato soup was a hit with my family! It was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. I made it exactly as the recipe stated, and it turned out perfectly.
