     Paul!!! The soup was fantastic! I substituted FF cheese and FF milk. I also measured it out and it made 8 cups of soup, so instead of the 6 servings, I changed it to 8 servings of 1 cup each, which brought it down to 171 calories and 0.9 grams of fat per cup! Woot Woot! A new staple food! - 11/20/07

     I MADE THIS SOUP LAST NIGHT AND WOW! WHAT A HIT! I DID MAKE A FEW CHANGES!

    I USED REAL POTAOTES,BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE LOWER IN CALORIES AND BETTER FOR US! I ADDED A LITTLE SEA SALT TO GIVE IT JUST A HINT MORE FLAVOR! AND I JUST HAD TO ADD SOME GARLIC AND A LITTLE GRATED CARROTS!

     I added minced garlic and some sea salt to it. We had it for dinner along with crusty bread adn a sald. I also offered a dallop of fat free sour cream to give it that loaded baked potato flavor. Yummy...wonderful comfort food! Thanks for sharing!!! - 11/14/07

     I made this for dinner this week. I used potatoes o'brien which already had bell peppers and onions cubed up in it. It was VERY good. Husband and the kids liked it too. Super easy. - 1/17/08

     I used real potatoes (lower in calories less fat) then added some southwest seasoning of my own. I also substituted low fat cheese. Turned out great but I think next time I would rather have a few real bits of well drained bacon sprinkled on top. - 11/20/07

     This soup is very easy and extremely tasty. Two cups of cheese seems to give it the perfect consistency. Try using refrigerated diced potatoes with onions for chunkier potatoes and no onion chopping! - 11/18/07

     We had to add a little red pepper to this dish and hint of hickory smoke to kick up the flavor a bit, but otherwise good deal! - 1/4/08

     I tried this soup last night and it is delicious. I did add one tablespoon full of sour cream during the last 10 minutes of cooking. My husband and I both loved it. - 10/29/11

     Very good! I will probably take the suggestions to try it with the potatoes that already have onions and peppers in it to save time. - 2/13/08

  • REGILIEH
     I USED REAL POTATOES - 1/18/20

     Used chicken bone broth to cut down on the sodium. Could also use chicken stock. - 6/16/19

     Love the soup but don't use the flour. I also use raw diced potatoes and real unpreserved bacon instead of the packaged hash browns and the baco bits (can't do soy). It takes a bit longer, but the results are sooooo worth it! - 1/23/18

     This soup was absolutely delicious and so easy to make it was ridiculous. - 9/6/14
  • LNORRIS80
     This was quick and easy and quite good! I used two pounds of potatoes because we need to use a bunch up. I just chopped them up then mashed them at the end. Also, we didn't have bacos so I used some turkey bacon. Easy substitutes and it was yummy! - 3/8/12
  • MICHELELYNN777
     This soup was thick, creamy and cheesy! Pretty generous serving size, too. Just needed to add a little salt for my taste, but otherwise very tasty and filling. Will definitely make again! - 2/28/12
  • ANNE737
