  1. This was an awesome recipe. It was so easy to make and tasted just like at the resturants. My family enjoyed this for lunch along with Sue l's asiago herb bread and let me tell you it was a real treat.
     
  2. All the carboholics in the office were in heaven. They licked the bowl clean. Don't tell them that I used low fat EVERYTHING. They have gone on and on about how many calories it probably was. Low fat sour cream, low fat milk, low fat cheese, turkey bacon. I also left the peels on the taters. Great recipe.
     
  3. I was looking for a different kind of soup to make the other night something quick and I stumbled upon this. I am in heaven I licked my bowl clean, my husband who is not a soup eater had 2 bowls. It is so easy to throw together, this is a keeper, thanks for posting.
     
  4. Very tasty soup. We loved the crunch of the green onion.

  1. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. !) stars, this is so good. But I will say, I made it with baked potatoes and that is what made it so good. Who would havew thought! I did use1 pint of heavy cream and 1 cup of half and half and the rest 1% milk. It did turn out thick and creamy and not for the "light" hearted crowd. I also used 1 cup of cheese, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and instead of green onions which I did not have, used chives. I'm not a big onion fan so it worked out great. I feel it could be served in an upscale restaurant with rave reviews. Thank you podapo.
     
  2. My family doesn't usually like soup but they LOVED this recipe! I used 8 potatoes instead of 6 because I wanted to leave a good amount of pulp in the skins to make potato skins for our next meal. I used margarine instead of butter and a whole pack of bacon rather than measuring out 2 cups. For the salt and pepper I used 3/4 teaspoon of each. For those of you who didn't know, like me, 1 1/2 quarts of milk is 6 cups of milk. I'll be making this again soon. :)
