This was really good. I will def. make again. I subbed some of the milk for ff half and half and I threw carrots sliced up with the potatos when they cooked for some color and flavor. Next time, I'll leave a few more pieces of potato and mush up fewer, just because that's what my family likes. - 11/5/09

this looks identical to the Bennigans Baked Potatoe Soup that my mom got off the internet! It's nice to see the nutritional info on it! Making it for the hubby tonight! :) - 8/22/09

I made this for my office at work and didn't even tell them it was healthy. Five people ate all but half a bowl of it. When I took the remainder home to my husband, he was upset he didn't get more. - 3/14/08

This is great and easy to make! I did add a little to your recipe. I used red potatos (all I had) then I made a white sauce and melted cheddar cheese in the soup and added real bacon pieces. The I added this to your recipe! Shall we call it SMOTHERED AND COVERED BAKED TATOR SOUP!! :) Thank you! - 1/25/08

Really good and simple to make. I did fry up some bacon and then crumble it up in the soup for added flavoring, though and it added nice flavor to it. - 1/4/08
