  • “So unbelievably good, Dorothy! I made this last weekend and never got a chance to post a review. I used yellow potatoes and vidalia onions so my soup was somewhat sweeter than it might have been with different varieties of those things. I loved it! Thanks for the recipe!”

  • “Flavor was a bit lacking. Maybe I processed it a bit too long, but shouldn’t have tasted any different.Also, I noticed something red or orange in the picture, but nothing similar in the ingredients.Guess I just love the flavor of some bacon or sausage in potato soup and prefer the old fashioned chunky variety.”

  • “A delicious soup!!! I added 2 small chopped carrots since we are carrot-lovers. This recipe was quick and easy. I will be having this soup again because DH loved it also! Prepared as a participant in the Two for One – Leftover Event January 2010 in the Cooking Photo Forum.”

  • “Excellent soup!I know, it’s the middle of summer and I’m making soup but it’s so good.My 11 year old son had a great time helping me make it.”

  • “This soup is really tasty! I doubled the recipe and blended it right in the pan with an immersion blender. I added a couple teaspoons of cream and 2 oz. of cream cheese. It turned out wonderful! Thanks for a good one!!!”
