Mine is super easy.  The key for me was to bake the potatoes first.  Any other way I tried to make potato soup, I ended up with an odd texture. 

 

4 large baking potatoes
1 stick butter
1/2 cup flour
6 cups milk
1 tsp salt
t/2 tsp white pepper (I sub in black pepper when I don't have white on hand)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon
1 cup sour cream
green onion (chopped)

Bake the potatoes.  Cool.  Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp in chunks.

Melt butter in large saucepan over low heat.  Add flour to make roux.  Gradually add milk.  Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly.  Stir in potato chunks, salt, pepper, cheese, bacon and chopped green onion.  Cook until heated through but do not boil. Stir in sour cream.  Cook until heated through.

I've never made it from scratch - Leo's recipe sounds awesome.   I stock up on the potato soup from tastefully simple and usually add chedder cheese, corn, and bacon.

Bring 2 cans of chicken broth and potatoes to a boil. Mix 1 can of broth and gravy mix and set aside. Once potatoes are boiling, add gravy mixture and reduce heat. Heat through.

I just have to say that mine is the best potato soup ever.    Super easy and pretty quick, but definitely not low fat. 

Ingredients -
3-4 Large Potatoes cut into small bite-sized piece
1 lb bacon - cooked and crumbled
1 box of chicken stock (is that 2 cups or 3?)
1/2 small yellow onion diced
1-2 carrots shredded tiny (so the kids can't see them)
2 tsp dill
Lawry Salt and Pepper to taste

1/2 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheese (I like Mexican blend)

Directions:
In a large soup pot combine everything except the milk and cheese. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are full cooked. Add milk and cheese. Heat until cheese is completely melted. If it's not thick enough, mix another 1/4 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of flour and add to the soup. Serve with more cheese, bacon and/or green onion sprinkled on top. Yum!!
