Whoever says soup isn't a meal has never had a hearty homemade soup!! I am a person who makes tons of soup all year long. 😋 This soup looks soooo amazing

I made this soup today to thank my son for coming over to mow my lawn and he told me it's the best potato soup he's ever tasted. 😊

Me and my lovely wife was watching this last night and I jokingly said "why aren't we eating that tonight instead of this? Today I came home to find her making this very recipe! It was wonderful, a definite keeper. Thanks for sharing!

I am in my mid-70s and am a very advanced amateur cook who has made potato soup for many years. Interestingly, the only differences between your recipe and mine are the use of golden potatoes and addition of sour cream near the end. Yesterday, I did it your way and must admit it was the BEST potato soup of my life! (I tasted the soup immediately before & after adding the sour cream and was amazed at the improvement!) My wife and two dear friends who joined us for lunch all raved about the soup as well. Thank you! Your approach to cooking and making videos is both easy going and easy to emulate. Kudos!

Please make more soup recipes I love them so much.

I grew garlic for the first time this last winter/spring. I found it to be easier than onions. Best part is now I am self sufficient with garlic and get lots of varieties to choose from.

Garlic isn’t too difficult-just plant the cloves NOW so they can vernalize (have to go through the winter cold temps) and they’ll come up in the spring. You can use the scapes to make pesto too!

I always add chopped carrots and celery to mine and I use half and half instead of milk. I also use an entire pound of bacon in the soup and I use red potatoes. It comes out so extraordinary that we even have it on Christmas! A family favorite for sure! We serve it with garlic bread and it’s perfect!

Soup is definitely a meal, I have a husband and 3 teenage boys and I serve them various soups with bread, buns or biscuits a couple times a week during the fall and winter.

I just went through your entire channel the other day and I was thinking “man this guy has everything except a potato soup recipe” you’re always my go to for recipes I thank you a bunch for everything! Can’t wait to try the soup😁

I just made this soup. My wife and I agree that this is the best potato soup we’ve ever had! Thanks John, you’re a treasure.

I can't even. Multiple stove tops, crazy garden space. Preppy indeed..

I make this soup all the time. Looks good. I live alone and can't eat it all. I freeze it in serving sizes and find it reheats well. I love having soup in the freezer for days when I don't feel like cooking or I'm not feeling well. Love your channel.

FYI plant garlic in the fall, not spring. They need the cold winter to perform it’s peak!

YUMMY 😋😋😋. And I agree with you. Soup is definitely a meal, especially the way I make it. My broccoli cheddar soup has broccoli, potatoes, carrots, chicken and cheddar cheese and heavy cream and seasonings, which definitely makes it a meal. I make my potato soup like you do, except I use garlic & onion powder and add peas to it because my mom always did that. I do freeze my Broccoli Cheddar soup in large muffin cups then baggies and it’d great for when I want a small cup of it. Haven’t tried that with my Potato Soup though.

I have to say thank you for this recipe. I got so sick (lupus) and I almost passed away…. This soup saved me…. Really, SAVED MY LIFE! This was the only thing I could eat for a few months!!! I am all better now and making the soup again and wanted to thank you!!!

I haven't peeled a potato in at least a couple of years; the varieties available near me (not sure of their names) have the thinnest skin that they almost totally come off when you scrub them, and then whatever's left basically dissolves when you cook them. Excited to make this soup!

Yes, soup is most definitely a meal. This soup sounds delicious.

This Pototo Soup is the best one I have had. Sauting the potatoes in the bacon grease puts over the top . GREAT SOUP. Family favorite

The best things about fall: apples, pumpkins, soups and sweaters. Thanks for sharing John and congrats on all the success of the book. ❤❤❤❤

I grew up with having soup before every meal growing up. Being Dutch it’s just what the do. My mom was the best soup maker and now my grown son has taken on that tradition. This recipe looks very good. I may try this it looks delicious. Thank you John I love your channel

I add cheddar to the pot and 1/2 the bacon and green onions. Then garnish with the same. Yum

Your garden is everything 😍!! I'm still stuck there, your inspiring me to go play in the dirt!!! This really brought me back to my childhood. My Oma's garden was to die for, and crazy big and the variety of veggies was insane 😳. Not to mention the fruit.... makes it difficult to shop produce in the grocery store unless u buy organic. So gonna make this!!!

I make soups often..with my potato soups (or chowder) I add about 2-4 c of fresh grated sharp and mild cheddar. Makes a wonderful creamy potato cheddar ( with ham) soup!

Sigh...sadly, some people do not appreciate how awesome soup is as a meal. In Winter time, soups are my family's favorite meals! Cook on John! Bring on the SOUP recipes!! Love your channel & awesome recipes!

I usually complain when the recipe is not in the presenter’s comments and I have to click into another site, however I was pleasantly surprised when I went to an article written by John. That was very nice like reading a letter from a friend about the soup.

Garlic is very easy to grow. You can use the leaves and the scapes ( mini garlic in the flower head). I freeze garlic cloves whole. I have had great success drying it. This year I also roasted garlic cloves then squeezed the cooked garlic out of skin, froze some in cubes and have a jar in the fridge to spread on bread, steak or add to other cooking.

Made this lovely soup tonight! It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it! This will definitely be my go to potato soup recipe. You are definitely one of my absolute favorites! Please keep the wonderful and easy recipes coming! Thank you so very much!!!!

Potato soup is so good! My mom made the very best Potato soup. She added lots of bacon and ham and cheese... mmm i miss her so much. She passed away from Covid November 8th 2020. I've never had Potato soup that was better than hers. :(

This recipe is A1. Everyone raved. Hands down best soup I’ve ever had.

WOW‼️ You’re garden area is beautiful 😻

I just made this and it's delicious! It didn't take long, it was fairly cheap to make, and the amount of flavour packed into this little soup is out of this world! Fantactic for meal prepping. The cleanup was also quick and easy. The video itself was informative, fun, and easy to follow. Thanks a bunch!

I made this tonight. It was so delicious, and everyone in my family liked it! Yay! I'm not usually very good at following recipes exactly, so I substituted some of the potatoes for sweet white potato and cauliflower. I added some smoked paprika at your suggestion, and that was a great addition. On the table, for my family to help themselves with toppings was: a trio of three different types of grated cheese, spring onion, chorizo, bacon, and asparagus (it's Spring here in Australia). Definitely a keeper. Thank you!

I make a fantastic potato soup that’s an old family recipe. My Ukrainian grandfather made this all the time. It’s made with bacon too and you use the fat to make a rue. It’s just delicious.

John, you give us the confidence to try new things. Your kindness and encouragement make you my favorite Utube cook to watch. Thank you!

The perfect cold weather dish 😋

Thank you, dude, my wife, son & golden retriever, loved this!!! The dod didn't have very much but he kepted on drooling and begging. I just couldn't say no in the end.

I love golds. They are my favorite potatoes. I use them for everything. lol Even breakfast burritos. I hope my family gets me that book for my birthday. 🤞🏼 I always buy my produce from the farms. But it would be nice to have my own garden. Next years project. 😅

I've made potato soup my whole life, but I followed your recipe with the bacon and this is the best potato soup I've ever had!❤️ Thank you

I like to take the skins and bake them a bit. Then garnish with crispy skins. Potato soup is so comforting

This garden is just beautiful.

This looks AMAZING! I just received my copy of your book, and I'm SO excited for Thanksgiving break so I can go back home and make as many recipes as possible! I'm sure you've heard this before, but I got into baking from watching your videos during quarantine and now it's my favorite hobby 😊

Seriously! The fresh onion won’t make me “cry”? Love potato soup!

This channel is my new happy place 💙

I just LOVE watching your channel!! No matter what I am thinking about cooking I ALWAYS go to see how you make it before I start!! You get right to the ingredients and your own twist on the recipe. Also, your kitchen is awesome!! Keep on doing what you do, your the best!! I'm just a grandma in Michigan and all I do is cook and bake almost every single day!

I've made a potato soup just like this before, added carrots and celery as well. Soooo gooood. I'll be making this next for supper.

The best potatoes I’ve ever eaten are Klondike Rose potatoes. They’re so delicious, they don’t even need butter. Just a bit of salt and pepper. I don’t know how they would be in soup but I’m sure they’d be wonderful. Your soup looked SO good!!

Perfect time of year for that soup.

2 of my absolute fave foods - potatoes & bacon ! Am definitely trying this for lunch since I have everything on hand, it’s cold outside & my husband LOVES soup ! Thanks 4 the recipe & u make everything look easy 2 make & delious!!!

Being half Hungarian, I totally agree with you about paprika in soup. I was brought up with it as well as sour cream. YUMMO.

When I was a tiny child, preschool age, I absolutely LOVED Graham Kerr, and his cooking show The Galloping Gourmet. I just realized I was watching your videos with the same pure enjoyment! Always a foodie, my mama would attest, Im also comforted by your presence, so thank you ❤️

This is a great recipe I've been making it for my family and they love it. Your recipes has helped me during my postpartum. They are delicious and easy to follow.

How awesome to be able to get vegetables in your own backyard ❤️

Good Evening . Thanks for sharing . Your delicious potato soup . Getting time of the year . For everybody to make soup . You And Family . Have A Great Evening .

This looks amazing!! It was a childhood favorite of mine so it’s comfort food ❤

I have never made anything bad from watching this man. Thank you so much for teaching me ❤❤❤ I admire you for giving out your recipes because so many people won't.

I received my cookbook today can't wait to trying the recipes

Absolutely love potato soup , so comforting especially fall /winter so delicious ❤️ always reminds me of my mom that was one of her favorites too

Great recipe. I add ancho chili powder to mine. Garlic planted in the fall is not hard at all.

I received your new cookbook. It is absolutely filled with deliciousness and beautiful pictures and stories.

I ordered your book just now and can't wait to receive it! Your gardens made me swoon. Soup is ABSOLUTELY a meal and I challenge anyone who says otherwise to a duel😂 love watching your channel. Thanks for the recipes 🙃

Why did I click on this video suggestion? Because the Meissen Blue Onion bowl captured my eyes! Stirred up tons of family memories in Germany! So, I watched the video! You make the soup exactly the same way I do, except I skip the sour cream. What a yummy soup. And it looks absolutely beautiful in the blue onion bowl

‘tis the season and I am in need of an amazing potato soup recipe. Thank you Mr. John Kanell.

I always fry my potatoes first. Holds them together and such a flavorful soup. It's almost at like potatoes with gravy on them.

John, love your videos. You smile, allot and it is infectious. Every recipe is spot on.

I cut my bacon before I cook it. I use the bacon grease to make a roux to thicken the soup. I’m planning on making potato soup tomorrow. I’m lazy so I don’t peel the potatoes. If the soup is too thin try adding some instant potatoes. Adding a bit at a time.

Homemade Soup is ALWAYS Wonderful....Filling and full of great vegetables, from onion, to tomato, potatoe to Chicken .....hundreds of ways to make soup...EVEN TACO Soup....YUM!!!

Thanks so much for specifying the type of potato. It really makes a difference!

If you want to make a big batch and freeze half, just simmer it with the chicken stock alone for the first 30 minutes. Take half of the soup out (while the potatoes are still firm but done) and cool it for the freezer. When reheating it from the freezer, add your milk and cream once the soup has thawed to liquid in the pan. If you make sure the potatoes are still firm and you don’t freeze the dairy with it, you can definitely freeze it. I do this with potato corn chowder. I freeze half of my batch while the potatoes are still firm and before I add my dairy.

Wait, the kitchen is actually his kitchen and not a studio?? I always thought that his filming in a studio cuz it looks TOO GOOD TO BE REAL!!! Wow his got my dream kitchen

your garden !!! what an inspiration !!! would love to see more !!! 🙂

So delicious definitely a must try. Cheers from Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 👍

This was the best soup I have ever made/tasted in my life!

This channel is a godsend. I am OBSESSED with creamy soups, I'm actually making the chicken pot pie soup this weekend, homemade chicken pot pie is my favorite food. And don't even get me started on the desserts! You've literally given me back my inspiration

Soups are my favorite thing to make, even in summer when my husband refuses to eat it because “it’s too hot for soup”. Whatever that means. 😂 More soup recipes, please.

I made this soup for Christmas day and my family loved it! So delicious and we had fun with the “toppings bar”. Thank you so much for this recipe.

When I was young, I would dred a soup dinner. To me, it a was not a meal. Now that I've matured to a much wiser age (😄) I can honestly say, I enjoy soup with a good bread or salad and I am totally satisfied. I can't wait to make this for dinner tonight! Thank you for sharing your yummy recipes!

Your garden is amazing

I love homade hearty soups. Thank you for this recipe. I am making it tonight for dinner. My Army Veteran Husband loves Potato Soup. He is very ill with an inoperable Brain Tumor and stage 4 Parkinson's in a Hospital Bed and Wheelchair and I know he will love this. ❤

I made this over the weekend. I had everything to make it already. My husband loved it. I did too. I will make this again. I am not a soup person. This is more of a meal than a soup. It was a quick soup too.

John, I've tried several of your recipes and each one has been so outstanding and delicious! I just made the potato soup!! Hubby says it's better than his grandma and mom's!! Thank you for sharing with us! Definitely a keeper 🤟

I can have soup for a meal and ill be happy! I love soup anytime of the day. In the fall and winter tho

Love that soup. I only use Golden Yukon potatoes.

Congratulations on your book making the New York Times best seller list, the honest way. You are a joy to watch and we love it how you manage a blooper. Refreshing.

I love soups on a cold day. This looks absolutely delicious. 🙂❤️

Growing garlic is easy and fun! Plant in the fall and watch it come up with the tulips 🥰

Thanks for keeping me company while I made it.pretty sure it's going to be amazing.

My 2nd recipe in 2 weeks. First being chicken marsala. Yumm. Having left over heavy cream and chicken stock is why i picked this. Needed 1 more cup of stock from freezer. I have molasses bread rising to have with. Soup is simmering. Am now retired and have the time to add new dishes weekly. Thank you. Great channel

If someone at your table is gluten intolerant, rather than the flour / roux situation, you can boil the beejeezuz out of one or two potatoes, mash them up and use that for the thickening agent.

I adore soups as a full meal! I could make soup all the time.

I made this tonight with Russet potatoes that I didn't want to go to waste. It tastes amazing and is not grainy in texture. Maybe it's because I cooked them 5 mins longer in the bacon fat before adding broth - in an attempt to reduce boil time. Maybe I just got lucky this one time. Either way, I'm thankful. Great recipe!

My favorite soup! Thank you for the recipe and love the tip about boiling the soup in the past I have always done it so I can’t wait to try making without boiling, I know it will be amazing.

Just made this soup and it was awesome. It was easy to make and best of all the fussy eater in my house loved it. Every recipe I have made of John’s has been great. He is my “go to” guy.

Followed this recipe step by step and it turned out amazing!! Thank you!! ❤

Yum!! I have a similar recipe, baked potato soup (same soup basically, different name lol) and we add some green onion on that bad boy too. Whole thing is a meal itself

Great recipe, can you recommend other ingredients instead of the heavy cream for people with lactose intolerance😊. Thank you .

Growing garlic is pretty easy....go for it!

LOLOLOL, John I love how you narrate what you are doing, mix mix mix, chop chop chop, peel peel peel! Don't ever stop being cute! 😍
