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.

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.

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.

Great soup
This is very simple, very tasty and you can tweak it easily. I added cayenne and black pepper. I had no cheddar so I used jalapeño jack cheese. This is a keeper.

Good, But Not Great
I really wanted to make soup tonight, so I went in search of a recipe to make. This one seemed simple and sounded yummy. I omitted the dill and only used half of the rosemary that the recipe called for, but it was still overpowering, in my opinion. I would make this again, but with less rosemary and a bit more salt and pepper.

Great soup!
This was the first soup recipe I made with my new Vitamix and I loved it. I didn't have the herbs so I left them out. The only thing I might do different next time would be to just cut up the last potato and mix it in for a little more texture to it, but otherwise great recipe.
