    I wasn't sure how to rate this recipe. It tasted good and the flavors were right but it didn't read as a soup. It was more like potatoes in a light broth. Also the cheese didn't really melt in as I had thought it would. - 1/18/14

    I made half of the recipe and it turned out delicious. I mashed 3/4 of the potatoes for a thicker consistency. I will definitely make this one again. - 11/16/11

    This tasted good but I wish I could find a way to thicken the soup so it was more creamy and less watery. - 5/25/09

    When I'm in the mood for a thick soup, I totally agree. I don't have a large food processor anymore but I would guess that processing half the crock of soup and keeping the other half of the potato chunks would thicken it for sure. Hope you enjoyed it!
