This is a really good and easy soup recipe! I only had 4 small red potatoes, so I boiled a bag of frozen cauliflower along with them and the results were fabulous - and lower carb! I also added about a tsp of chicken broth concentrate and used Pioneer Country Gravy Mix. I'll make this again and again on those rare cold days in Texas. Thanks for a yummy recipe! -
This is one of my favorite potato soups and it's soooo easy to make. =) -
Nothing this easy to make should taste so good! As one of your previous reviewers I too used a sub for the McCormicks orginal Country Gravy and used bacon having neither the McCormicks nor bacon bits on hand . (on for my next shop) Made with new potatoes fresh from the garden, some snipped in dill - yes super easy and super good. Thank you kbcountrymom it's been added to my family favorites.

Wow was this good and easy! I couldn't find McCormicks original country gravy, so I used the Pioneer brand . Mine got a little too thick so added some half and half at the end, along with salt and a good sprinkling of black pepper. I fried about 4 slices of bacon, crumbled them and stirred those in also at the end. Thanks so much for sharing this easy recipe!
