Way too much garlic. Barely tolerable with the toppings, but unfortunately I could still taste the soup. Tasted like garlic flour. Waste of time and money. Was really wanting it to be good, but was not.

Made this today. It was absolutely fantastic! My daughters (ages 8 and 10) asked me if I could make this "twice a week". Not sure what anonymous was expecting, but this soup definitely gets 5 stars from my hungry crew!

thanks lynette! you took the sting out of that first comment!

This soup turned out great! I think cheese and bacon or turkey bacon bits are mandatory. It needs a little chewiness. Nice texture, super creamy.

This looks wonderful! I found your site off of the Inspired By Charm website. Soup is my favorite thing to make and my favorite thing to eat; this Baked Potato Soup looks delicious! I did read a review that said the soup had a lot of garlic; which will go over good with my garlic loving family!

I have made potato soup with cheese before and while it was good this looks fantastic. I work from home so I love a pot of soup on the stove to stave off hunger pangs during the day. Plus a crockpot recipe makes life even easier trying this tomorrow! thanks Jane

I make this DELISH soup tonight! I couldn't get the roux to set right so after adding just a LITTLE bit more flour it was PERFECT! My hubby had 2 bowls my kids (2 and 4) kept asking for more too!! AMAZING TRULY AMAZING I will be adding this to our meal plans FOR SURE! Thanks for the recipe!!!!

I would have to agree with the first post about the amount of garlic... Way too much garlic. I would either reduce it to one clove or skip it and add garlic powder to taste as the end with the salt and pepper.

Wanted you to know that this recipe looks amazing. I just put together a round-up of great cooler weather soups & stews for slow cookers and had to include this! Hope you can stop by! http://www.ishouldbemoppingthefloor.com/2012/09/twenty-slow-cooker-soups-perfect-for.html

Thanks again for all the time you put into this great site!

This is cooking in the crock right now while I'm at work. VERY excited to get home and taste it. This may be a silly assumption, but you mashed the potatoes before you made the roux, correct? Yours looks so smooth... Thanks for the recipe!

Karen said...

Kerri,
no I didn't mash the potatoes, although you could if you wanted. When I made the roux I just dipped a measuring cup into the slow cooker and got out the liquid part only. I will have to clarify that in the instructions! Thanks and I hope you enjoy it :)

Everyones taste buds are different. Some might like the garlic more then others. You learn that it was to much the first time so put less the next till it satisfies you. No need to be mean.

Karen said...

Could the bouillon be substituted with chicken stock?

Karen said...

yes, chicken stock or broth would work great!

Melody said...

Great recipe! My family loved it. I will definitely be making it again!

Hello!

Looking forward to making this recipe, one question, though. Can you use Russet potatoes instead of red?

Karen said...

yes, you can use russet or yellow or whatever you have on hand! The russet will take longer to cook, though.

Karen,
When I read this had "too much garlic" I knew it was for me. Made it last night for New Year's Eve with a buffet "potato bar" and homemade garlic bread (I know, I am pushing it huh?) and everyone was thrilled! Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe.

Karen said...

hooray Colleen!
so glad it worked out for you :)

Add some rosemary in the beginning to pump up the flavor of the soup itself. Great recipe!

Karen said...

anonymous,
Great idea about the rosemary! I'll try it next time :)

I made this yesterday and it turned out really well. I pureed the onion and garlic, though, so that my daughter would eat it. In the end, I just mixed in some turkey bacon, sour cream, and shredded cheese to the crock pot.

I also used 3 baking potatoes since that's all I had at the time. They took a while to soften up, so I used my potato masher a little at the end to help them along.

Really good recipe! Will probably make it again soon.
