This soup is great, have made it several times, very easy and everyone loves it. Careful with the bacon grease, it really doesn’t need much and I am thinking of leaving it out completely.

I’ve made this soup several times as it is very easy. Its pretty good soup too but I agree with some other reviews – it needs way more seasoning! I added ATLEAST double of everything and possibly tripled the salt. Besides that I’ll make again. After adding more seasoning, it turns out delicious.
PS: if you’re planning on blending the whole soup mixture, only use 6 cups of broth. If you add all 8 cups, it’s a little too thin.

This is a delicious variation on potato soup. I make it meatless. Instead of using the bacon fat I melt 2 TBsp of butter and I add a clove or two of minced garlic about a minute before adding the veggies. I also threw in 4 oz of cream cheese towards the end. Yumm, family loves it!

I made this last night. It was delish! I did not use the cream, and I threw the cooked bacon into the pot at the end. Other than that I didn’t change a thing.

Delicious, I added 3 leeks with the vegetables. Dash of smoked paprika with the cayenne and did not remove the bacon grease, since I had so many vegetables it need the grease to saute. The soup had a nice bacon flavor with the heat of the spice. We skipped the cheese, didn’t need it. Will make again, especially when it 5 degrees out like yesterday.

This soup is so easy and everyone loves it. I use cheddar cheese and don’t add the Cajun spice as I have one who doesn’t like anything spicy and it is still yummy!

I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for awhile and today I got the chance! I pretty much followed the recipe as written except I doubled the cajun spice and pepper. Oh, and I used red potatoes with the peels on. It was absolutely fantastic and EASY. I will definitely be making this again and again. Thanks for sharing!

I accidentally put the flour and milk in before simmering with the broth, and it turned out fabulous. I have never had potato soup before, but I am hooked. I can’t believe I have not had this in the first fifty years of my life. I really missed out!

I’ve made this twice. No complaints from me or my family!

Disappointed, we love potato soup but this was not great. Did not like the cajun spice. I would not use that again. But then it would be tasteless!!
I usually love Ree’s recipes but this was disappointing.
