This recipe is so quick and easy. My whole family loves it, especially the kids. It is great served with crusty French bread.

Great recipe! I followed another suggestion and reduced the amount of water to 7 cups. In addition I added 6 pieces of bacon cooked and crumbled to the soup when I added the sliced Velveeta. I'll be making this soup again! Read More

Followed this one exactly and my only complaint is that the Velveeta never completely melted but by the time it did enough to eat the potatos were overdone. Next time I would add more potatos so that it will be a bit more chunky. Second bowl in I added some cumin and liked it even better. Paprika chives and crutons for garnish. Thanks! Read More

OOOh so very good! Really this should be titled as a potato cheese soup - but whatever it is it's wonderful quick and easy to make. Using red potatoes I have made this exactly as the recipe suggested with a just bit of sharp cheddar on top and another time added venison sausage - both times were great. This does not have the "canned" taste I was expecting. I like to mash the potato cubes just enough to "roughen" them up - the addition of the soup and cheese give plenty of creaminess without having to mash up the potatoes too much. Thanks so much to the contributor! On to my second helping.... Read More

I made 1/2 recipe of this to try it out and I am glad I did! This was very boring tasting. I thought it was strange to go through the work of making homemade potato soup and then adding a can of soup. The canned soup dominated the flavor and it ended up tasting like "canned cheese potato soup!" Read More

Very easy to make and delicious. My 11 year old picky eater loved it. I added cooked cubed potatoes at the end to make it a more hearty soup. Read More
