Expert Tips

Instead of using purchased bacon pieces, cook 2 strips of bacon until crisp, then drain and crumble.

Southern-style hash brown potatoes are diced instead of shredded. These work best in this recipe.

The soup had zero flavor and it was to bland. It needs cheese added to the recipe.

I made this tonight, it tasted very yummy but the consistency was more like mashed potatoes rather than like a soup.I cooked it for 6 1/2 hrs on low, potatoes were mushy. Thinking it may have overcooked. It was still delicious and I would make again! Great recipe!

I have been looking for a good potato soup recipe for a while. My mother in law makes a WONDERFUL one from scratch. So when i came across this one i wasnt sure if it would compete with my mother-in-laws recipe. Let me tell you my husband LOVED this along with my mother-in-law. The whole family includinf my 2 year old had 2nd helpings. This recipe was super easy too. Must try this!
