Ive used this recipe about 15 times now, or more. I was using this recipe when it was on an app before they rebranded. This is so so good! I love it, every time it comes together and it’s a comfort food. I just use way more bacon! I also sometimes don’t smash the potatoes, it still is delicious

I made this tonight to use up some russet potatoes I had it came out perfectly even though I added about a cup of extra broth because at first I thought it was too thick, I think it will thicken as leftovers though. Even my 6 year old who hates everything gave this a thumbs up. I took liberty with the seasoning as I always do in recipes. Really delicious!

In reply to Caroline. We do a lot of our shopping/pricing at Aldi and Kroger and these grocery prices were at the time of posting almost 2 years ago. The recipe prices are for the specific amount of that ingredient used, so for example, the price is for 4oz bacon, rather than the whole package of bacon, so $1.37. A package of bacon at Aldi at the moment is $4.69 for a 16oz package, so 4oz would actually be $1.17! :)

Great recipe! I would love to know where you shop to get those good prices on ingredients. Or possibly these are before the big grocery inflation happened?

In reply to Sharon. Condensed milk is a thick syrup and sweet. That does sound like a recipe for disaster.

We love this recipe! Our younger children don’t exactly love the kick from the cayenne, but they still eat it up. It does thicken as leftovers, but that’s easy to thin out with milk or water when reheating. We haven’t done bacon b/c of being short on time, and it still is flavorful.

In reply to Sherri. Oops, that was a typo. I added that section of the blog post recently and was mixing this potato soup up with a different one. This one does not contain cream cheese. :)

Where is the cream cheese that the narrative stated were used in combination with the sour cream to make it extra creamy? The cream cheese never showed up in the recipe instructions or the ingredient list.

In reply to Ann. While we haven't tested freezing this soup, I would guess that it is not a good candidate for freezing because it has so much dairy, and a flour-thickened broth. Both of those elements tend to separate upon freezing and thawing.

Great recipe, but my potatoes did NOT cook in 15 minutes. It took closer to 45 minutes and that was with the potatoes diced into bite size chunks. I tried it with russet and yellow potatoes and ran into the same issue. Still good but may just need to account for extra cooking time.
