I used almost 5 pounds of potatoes added a 26 ounce can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 stick of butter, 2 packages of Hillshire farm cheddar wurst smoked sausage and used heavy whipping cream served it with sweet corn muffins and the family LOVES IT!

I'm so glad I found your recipe.. Delicious.. Happy holidays!

This is the way that I have always made Potato Soup,but I add a can of corn to it,and prefer to dunk bread rather then to use crackers.

has anyone ever tried adding some alfredo sauce that comes in a jar to add to the thickness....just saying....YUMMY!!

This recipe is wonderful! My mom made this for me earlier this year when I had strep throat. The only thing different is that she used frozen shredded hash browns instead of regular diced potatoes. The result was the same and it was excellent.

I love potato soup and my mom used to make it for me have fixed it one time and I added shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream for a creamier taste but me and my bf absolutely love it thanks so much for help with this recipe I love this site because I don't have a lot of homemade cooking experience either and use this site for anything I want to cook! Or anything I can dream up that we would like!

I added crumbles of bacon and shredded cheddar cheese on top, perfect!

Sheila, thank you so much for putting this perfect simple recipe on line. This is the exact soup my mom used to make for me and I was trying to make it from memory (I'm not a great cook) and I didn't know how to start. I saw all these super creamy thick recipes with too many ingredients online and was SO HAPPY to find yours! :D

This was really easy to cook and it tastes really good, great comfort food too!

I use a little flour to thicken it up and eat it with corn bread and lots of pepper... best comfort food ever!!!

This potato soup was delicious and easy to prepare!!

This is a wonderful soup but try adding a can of salmon to this recipe and you have a wonderful salmon stew. Deeelish...(take canned salmon clean the skin and bones and break it up into bite size pieces put it into the soup I have been making this for years it is my moms recipe)

So so so so so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone should try this recipe.

its very good thanks

OMG that was so good! This was my moms first time making it. She will be making it on a regular basis!
