Just made it for the first time...hope my husband gets off work early or he may not get any!!!! Definite keeper....thanks for all the add-in/options, I will be experimenting with this one....

Added Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and used chicken stock with the water... turned out excellent. Thanks for this recipe.

This reminds me of the soup my grandma made for me more than sixty years ago.

This soup recipe is great for the beginner. Love it!

I left the potato skins on for extra vitamins, added finely chopped celery, onion, and chicken. I used chicken broth instead of water, then added lots of seasoning and served with corn bread. Huge success with my meat and potatoes guys.

Darn good soup. Almost identical to my Grandma's recipe except add three ribs of celery sliced thin including tops. cook until soft in lightly salted water barely to cover. Mash veggies a little when they're soft, then add milk/cream/butter to taste. To make this soup a soul warming experience use real butter and half milk and half cream.

Grandma, and then my Mom made this soup at least twice a week for lunch in winter. I never got tired of it. Comfort food at it's most comforting. Grandma always made her own crackers, too. She said it was less fuss than going to the store.

Very good, added a can of cream of mushroom soup, celery & bacon bits. Tony Chacheres cajun seasoning... Super and easy... Thanks!

Thanks, its just like the soup my mom used to make. Very simple, very tasty, great comfort food.

Luv this recipe... added broccoli and topped with cheese.

I'm real sick right, now great recipe. Lovin it! Mclovin

This is the same soup that my grandmother made for us when we were growing up in the 60s.. Delicious then and now...

I use a similar preparation. Like most commenters, I add bacon, but fix it up first by carmelizing it in a separate pan first with sugar and adding the onions. I overcook the bacon slightly, and add it towards the end so it doesn't turn out soggy.

About to give this recipe a try, hope its as good as everyone says.

My only change was to saute my onion in butter w/garlic. One of the easier recipes I've made, and what a great taste !

I love how someone commented, "Too much pepper" when there are no actual measurements on this recipe.
