Agreed that this soup was labor intensive; however, it was worth it! So good! My husband raved about it. I didn’t have heavy cream or half & half so used whole milk and corn starch to thicken. Also added some broccoli and 1/4 cup of salsa verde. I only used four slices of bacon, but that was enough to give it great flavor.

We loved this soup! Due to what I had on hand and what I had time to work with, I used bacon grease from my “stash” to begin with. I did not add carrots and probably won’t next time. I used Mayers real bacon bits to sub for bacon! They were great! I mashed the taters with a hand masher and then added to roux with half and half! Just a little different but still, loved this recipe! Thank you, Bunny!

My husband had some dental surgery today so had requested potato soup. Found this recipe and decided to give it a try. So glad I picked this one! It was delicious. My husband had three bowls. I had russet potatoes on hand so used those, and they worked perfectly. I used half and half instead of the heavy cream and spinach in place of the kale. Otherwise followed the recipe as written. Will definitely be making this again and again. Does require a bit of prep to get everything chopped and peeled but so worth it.

Omg, this soup was SO good! We couldn’t stop eating it! I only made a half batch and cut down on the bacon and used spinach instead of kale.It went too fast! Next time, this week, I’m making a full batch! I sent the recipe to my daughter and they loved it! She’s making it again this week! This is a winner in our book! Ty!

Great recipe! I’m big on seasoning, especially in soups because I have only been cooking for a couple of years and soups I make tend to turn out a bit bland and I have to keep adding something to it, but this was perfect! I didn’t have tarragon, so I used thyme which I almost always use in potato dishes so it was perfect. I didn’t have any kale and ate spinach for lunch so I just omitted the greens and it is divine. One spoonful trying it out after I finished to see if I needed to add anything, and I had to leave a comment because I was blown away! Will definitely make this in the future. Maybe I’ll even can some.

I find a lot of recipes that inspire me to try it. While stuck at home on a (SUPRISE) 10 day isolation period i have been trying to be good and not leave the house. So when i checked to see what i actually had in the fridge and pantry, then came across this recipe, I saw an almost perfect match. I was out of fresh garlic and no kale. I substituted dry garlic powder and canned green. Also, i decreased potatoes in half and added turkey sausage. One of the best soups in a long time. Thank you very much. I will check later to see what other ideas i can get from you.
