Caroline on 2026-01-21 (5 stars): My go too. Sometimes I add frozen Peas.
Brushjl on 2025-12-22 (5 stars): Agree, terrific soup. I love it that it was still in chunks an not blended into a sludge. Beautiful too.
Kezra on 2025-11-28 (5 stars): Made for a light tea tonight with some Vienna bread and the soup was absolutely delicious. The simplicity of ingredients was amazing. I used milk instead of thickening cream and did make a slurry for thickening. This recipe is going into my cookbook of print outs. Well done.
Chelsea Vaughn on 2025-11-08 (5 stars): Ok so I added some shredded chicken to mine as well as some diced celery. I used one chicken bouillon on top of the chicken broth because I have a family who loves flavor. At last minute request I had my family want me to throw in some shredded cheese, rotel, and corn. They almost made it a cheesy chicken potato recipe!
Cris on 2025-10-17 (5 stars): Y'all this soup was so darn good!!! Th only thing I did differently was to add some sliced Aidells Italian Style Chicken Sausage. Simple yes, completely satisfying YES!
Kyra on 2025-09-20 (5 stars): I had to sub out heavy whip with half n half and it tastes amazing. Will use this recipe in the future.
Lauren on 2025-08-14 (5 stars): This soup was phenomenal and was that perfect hearty brothy soup we were looking for. I didn’t have heavy cream so I used just a splash of milk and it was still so tasty. This is also very budget friendly!
SAM on 2024-04-21 (5 stars): Easy and tastes great!
Christie on 2023-12-27 (5 stars): I was looking for something light on the stomach after all the Christmas overindulgence and came upon this. I had all the ingredients on hand and it was very quick and simple to make. My whole family absolutely loved it.
