    UPDATE last night I made a few additional changes. I used 4 cups of low sodium chicken stock, 1 onion instead of two, removed the soup mixture from the crock pot and blended it. Saute 1 onion and turkey bacon together and added as topping along with cheddar cheese. AWESOME!!! - 11/6/08

    I've made my own Potato soup for years, but I'll try this as a healthy alternative. If its too runny, try adding some instant mashed potato flakes at the end. You can also add a head of broccoli and turn this into "cream of broccoli" soup. :) - 10/20/09

    Never had celery and carrots added to my potato soup so I was a little skeptical but it turned out really good. I added a little bacon bits and cheddar on top for my kids and they loved it. - 1/21/09

    Delicious and easy! I added mushrooms and used only 1 onion. Added thyme and bay leaves for flavor--would suggest seasoning to taste. Also used 4c low-sodium chicken broth and 4c water. A quick whirl with the immersion blender thickened it up nicely. Will make again! - 12/31/09

    This was very good. My husband even liked it. I used fat free chicken broth with 50% less sodium and added about 1/2 cup of instant potato flakes to give it a little thickening. It really turned out well. I would recommend this to everyone - 11/29/09

    Wonderful! Even my husband loved it and he is hard to please when cooking healthy! It was perfect for a cold, rainy night. We did not think it was thin. It is soup and not stew. Thanks for sharing. I love being able to put everything in the slow cooker and walk away. - 12/15/08

    It's pretty bland, but I dumped in some garlic, seasoned salt, parsley, cayenne, and black pepper and then it was really tasty. I used an immersion blender to blend some of it into a nice thick, but chunky soup. It was a big hit! - 3/17/10

    I MADE THIS AS WRITTEN, BUT USED A DUTCH OVEN ON THE STOVE. I DID NOT ADD ANY SALT AT FIRST AND IT WAS BLAND. I USED 2 CANS OF LOW SODIUM CHICKEN STOCK. THE SECOND DAY I ADDED ABOUT FOUR SLICED OF COOKED REGULAR BACON, PEPPER, CELERY POWDER AND A LITTLE SAGE AND THE TASTE WAS MORE TO MY LIKING. - 3/8/10

    This recipe is great. I had my doubts when I read the non-fat evaporated milk, but you can't tell it at all. I love potato soup and this really filled the bill. My husband loves it as well.

    I cooked it on top the stove though because I decided to make it after work.

    Great...thanks again. - 1/4/09

  • I made thisbrecipe last week, and my family loved it! Before serving, I did blend-up some of the vegetables to thicken it a little. Also, I put a few spices on the dinner table for people to add as they wanted. My husband gives the recipe a five. He said he would give it a six if it were spicy. : - 12/2/12

  • Wanted a thick soup, so added pot. flakes to thicken, then pureed. Tasted different than I 'm used to; but I'm used to this kind of soup being weighed down with cream/cheese. I added broccoli also, but didn't add enough spice so was bland. Don't mind, because it can be seasoned by bowl/by person. - 3/21/12

  • Needs some seasoning (I used basil, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic) and a whirl with the immersion blender. After that it's very yummy. Doesn't even need the milk.

  • I love the flavor this chicken bullion cubes give this recipe. I omitted the onions (not a fan) and used 1 pkg of Neufchatel cheese (lowfat cream cheese would work) instead of the evaporated milk, but I made the soup on the stove as the cheese won't melt in the slow cooker and leaves chunks. - 1/12/12

  • I used the reduced sodium organic chicken broth instead of water & lots of herbs & spices. My boyfriend said it was bland... & he's usually really kind about my cooking. I doctored it up with a 97% fat free hamsteak & low fat shredded cheese (as a topper). It's a nice recipe, but not for us. - 1/10/12

  • Very easy to make; however I must have had the tuffest potatoes ever-took longer to get textue I wanted; next time I'll boil them a bit first; taste was good; to keep down the sodium I used fat free low sodium chicken stock instead of the boullion. - 1/9/12

  • There are several sizes of cans when purchasing evaporated milk. What exactly does 1 can mean? And what exactly is 1 serving? It says it makes 15 servings, but doesn't give a serving size...

  • Made this as written the first few times. I now use only 4-4 1/2 cups water, 4 Knorr Vegetable Boullion cubes - they are larger than regular cubes and give a rich flavor.
