I was hungry for soup and needed something fast, I remembered I had instant potatoes and I love potato soup so searched and found this recipe. It was easy and seasoned just right without any changes. While I would prefer chunks of potatoes this is a great recipe to make when you don't have them and need something fast. I will make it again.

I think this is a five star recipe for what it is...a 5 min start to finish soup. Is it the best potato soup I've ever tasted? No. But it is very flavorful, very tasty, & nobody I served it to thought I used instant potatoes. I'll definitely pull this out again. I keep a round sourdough loaf in my freezer for using to serve with last minute dinners. I served this soup garnished with paprika and cheese, the bread, and a green salad & it was a satisfying meal.

Wonderful and easy recipe. I replaced some of the salt with chicken soup base the second time I made this and it gave it a wonderful flavor. A definite favorite I can't wait to share with my girls.

I'm going to make the instant potato soup recipe, only I'm going to add small chunks of ham to it. I want a comfort food type meal today, but I don't feel like doing a lot to have it. This sounds like a great combonation.

Great easy soup! I also subbed chicken base for the salt and it was delicious!

I made it as it was written the first time and it was good. The second time I sauted a small onion and 1/2 cup celery till soft. I then added a drained can of diced potatoes and it was even better!

I have made this for years. Some variations that are especially good are bacon and cheese - cheesy broccoli (add some frozen hash browns for added texture). My mother also used this base for "corn soup" - put corn in blender, add to base with chopped red and green peppers (seasoned to taste, of course).
