Everyone loved this soup. I added chopped onion and carrots to get some veggies into the kids.

I made this soup in December and loved it. I was so sorry that I didn't save the recipe and have been looking all morning for it. I'm so happy I found it. It's the easiest, most delicious, hearty soup ever! Thanks!

I made this tonight, and it was really good. Easy, and even my children loved it!!! (They are 8 and under, so that means it was good)

I make this wonderful soup all the time during the cold weather months and it's a big hit with my family! I don't use cheddar cheese, but prefer to use diced Velveeta instead. I use about a cup or cup and a half, and it really makes the soup creamier and smoother. I also don't add the bacon until the end, and use it as a topper, along with diced green onions. I do sprinkle a few shreds of cheddar on top w/ the onions and bacon for color. It's sooooo good this way. I recommend everyone do it like this.

I made this soup out of left over mashed potatoes and left over baked potatos and it was a hit. I did not add the bacon but put a few on top of the soup. It was too salty with it in the soup and I used x-tra sour cream. Grandkids ate most of it. Sad part, I tasted it with a spoon but never got any more of it. Also, I am gluten free and used GF flour and no one could tell. Will make again and definitely share the recipe.

Very easy and delicious. I am contemplating adding corn to my next batch.
