Oh So Good!
I received a Vitamix for Christmas and have been using it several times a week. I have been making hummus weekly and I am beyond happy with the creamy texture. Last night I made the Bacon Cheddar Potato Soup, I thought it was SO GOOD! I added more cheese once in the soup bowl and mixed in, the result was perfect on a cold and rainy night. Sure you can doctor it up the way you like, but I followed the recipe as instructed and was not disappointed. I will be making this soup often, along with other recipes in the cookbook that I received with my Vitamix.

Follow recipe to the letter.
Good recipe. I goofed and put bacon in too soon - still tasted good. Leave out the dill if this is for kids or picky eaters - just keep it simple.

Yum!!
The soup was thick and creamy, and so flavorful, made as written! My husband and I enjoyed it very much- a comfort soup! It will be a recipe I make again for sure!

Second time the charm
The first time I felt it was too smooth and bland. I switched out 1/2 up of milk for cream and one cup of milk for chicken broth and it was MUCH better. I also kept out 1/4 of the potato chopped to add texture.

Very milky tasting
This was the second hot soup we tried and it was just as disappointing. It was also very thin and milk tasting. Pretty much tasted like hot flavoured milk with bacon bits in it. Also, the Perfect Blend app is not user friendly. While I love that it takes the guess work out of blending a recipe by communicating the blend intensity/level with the blender, it's complicated to use and adjust the number of servings and serving size. If you go back to the main recipe (leave the "blend" section), you lose your modifications which really messes with you meal if you don't realize. I would probably try making this again using more potatoes and a heavy cream.

Please Correct Recipe
This calls for one potato. And it is not indicated if the potato is raw or cooked. Vitamix has so many raw vegetables and fruits in their recipes. Many people that own a Vitamix are novice cooks. Vitamix indicated in the comments 3 months ago that the potato should be cooked and that you would update the recipe. You need to post correct and updated recipes. All posted recipes should be proofed before posting. Thank you.

Family winner!
I made this soup with vanilla almond milk coz that's all I had, also added more cheese (we like it) , onion and some water due to thickness. Added potatoes and bacon at end as recommended. Turned out great, even for my picky daughter! Next time I think I will use regular almond milk tho.

confused
The recipe calls for 1 potato? And to put 1 potato in at the beginning and then 1 at the end. I’m confused. Also, I’m assuming the potatoes should be cooked first? Would love to try recipe but not sure what to do. Please advise.
