1. I work with special needs adults. We are required to make low sodium low carb meals. I need help with this as for I have never counted carbs or sodium but now I must do this for my clients.

1. Very easy to make. Be sure to stir continuously!! I added chopped onion and minced garlic. I left out the cheese and used it as a topping instead with crumbled bacon.

2. Very good! I added chopped onion with the butter and cooked it a bit before adding the flour. I used non-fat milk and it still came out very nice and creamy. It thickened up nicely after adding the potatoes. I continued to cook a bit after adding the cheese and potatoes (as opposed to the recipe calling for turning the heat off). I stirred in about 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard and a little more salt to bring the flavor out. Thanks for posting!

3. 10 Stars! Made this for the first time on Super Bowl Sunday 2002 and YUM-YUM! Mashed about 1/3 and kept 2/3 of potatoes cubed - added diced carrots, used half "Half n Half" and half 2% milk ...... I would HIGHLY recommend this as it can be "customized" however you want! Anxious to make other variations......

4. I was looking for a potato soup recipe and this is the first I tried. It was very easy to make and make adaptations to. It is great with bacon and green onions. I made it with fat-free condensed milk and with low-fat cheese. It was still wonderful. I will definitely keep this recipe.

5. This soup tastes great. I omitted the chicken boullian and the cheese, because I wanted just a basic potato soup, like my Mema used to make. I had a pretty hard time getting the lumps out of the flour/butter mixture. I kinda had to smush the with my sppon as I was mixing. If anyone has a better was of doing this, please let me know. Also, this soup would be great topped with bacon bits. Jessica, Texas

1. I don't know what I was thinking making this on one of the hottest days of the year, but I was scrounging around, found I had quite a few potatoes, and decided to make use of them. I really doctored this up. I used Cracker Barrel extra sharp cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, and pepperjack cheese. I also threw in a clove of garlic as well as salt and pepper. At the ended I added spinach in with the potatoes, and instead of bacon I use pepperoni. The pepperoni made it out of this world and added an extra kick. I turned my air conditioner way up and enjoyed the soup immensely. It will last me for the next several days.

2. I followed this recipe exactly, except the last 10 minutes I added about 4-5 oz. of sour cream, Yum

3. Thank you for this delicious recipe; I love it! As I'm a vegetarian I made some changes: I used soy milk and soy cheese, and instead of butter used olive oil, and didn't used the chicken bouillon. But...it tasted GREAT! If I can make this soup anyone can.

4. Very delicious!! I was not sure I would like a creamy based potato soup as growing up my mom always made it with a thin tomato base, which is very good too. I ommitted the cheese and used Lactaid whole milk in place of the milk and added onions diced and sliced and celery chopped and to get a little texture I also added a handful of instant mashed potatoes for extra oomph. I make a garlic butter for putting on toast and french bread and also added that in place of just plain butter and I ommitted the flour and just thickened with cornstarch which I added to the milk before mixing with the other ingredients in the pot...Alot of changes but well worth the effort. Thanks for a great base to start with -- really good and simple!! A definate keeper! crazy crafter

5. Wow! I have never been able to make thick & creamy potato soup before. Here were my changes. 1. I cut it in half (still made 4 servings). 2. I used 1 cup of half and half and 2 cups of skim milk. 3. I used chicken broth instead of bouillon. This soup was sooooooo very good. Thanks for sharing!
