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 just made this for dinner tonight and it was excellent!! I followed the recipe, except I excluded the sour cream, and it was still heavenly! Made some crispy homemade yeast bread to go with it. Also, I made his recipe for blueberry muffins, which are the bomb.. Yep, I'm buying his book!
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
Yep , we make a lot of soup all year long too. Always trying new recipes. But it's officially soup making sweater whether now. I'm loving it. Giving the a/c a break. Happy cooking. 🔥🕊️♥️
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 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.
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!
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 used scapes in my pesto in the summer - amazing! We had wild garlic growing but our maple tree completely blocked the sun, so we dried the cloves and planted them about 3 weeks ago - and they're coming up - about three inches tall now. We're so excited about next spring to see how they do!
Garlic is no more a problem than onions. End of Oct first of Nov plant Each Clove Root end down about an inch cover and put 3 to 4 inches of leaves over to protect them over winter. Harvest around June. Talk about FLAVOR.
Rodney, thank you for starting this off... I rarely comment on videos, but I had to tell John how EASY garlic is , yes, just like onions are! John, I plant them now, end of Oct. and mine do not sprout, but they will in the spring (Pacific Northwest) and are ready similar to onion time. Garlic is one of my favorite crops to grow! Commercial garlic from out of the US is fumigated to death, yuck! Try this, you will love having your own garlic braids! :D
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 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😁
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 😊
Hello keep calm.... I noticed in your comment you received a book from this master chef. Where is it that you obtained the book. Am I not looking hare enough for the link on his page or what's up? Please help. Thank you, and God bless, mam.
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.
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!!!!
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 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!
I've never peeled the skin of a potato. Just clean up the parts that need to be removed after giving them a 5 min soak then scrub them well. The best nutrients are in the skin.
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.
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 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 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!
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!
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 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 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 🙃
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. 😅

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. :(
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.
Holy cow. My mouth is *watering*, and due to health weirdness, that is saying something!!! This is going to be dinner TONIGHT! And I'm looking forward to cooking my way through your cookbook's soup recipes! 😍😍😍 (P.S. I *never* use pepper for anything! I am probably the biggest wimp in the world, but black pepper is too spicy for my mouth and belly! I do use white pepper in my lasagna, but otherwise, pepper is out! *Pepper*, not bell peppers, just to clarify! 😉) (Oh, also, cool tip: my husband lived in Hungary for just under two years, and he told me it's pronounced "paw-prika". I love that!)
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
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.
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!!
I like a tiny pinch of nutmeg in my tater soup. I also take about 1/2 the soup when it's almost done and puree it in the blender and then return it to the pot. And yeah, it's unfortunate neither cream soups or anything with taters in it freezes very well. although I routinely freeze beef stew, knowing the taters will me a bit mushy when thawed and reheated.
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
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 🤟
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.
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.
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 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.
Ahhhh, potato soup!! 😍 I made a version of it from my Fannie Farmer cookbook, during my Peace Corps days. It’s nothing to this glam stew, but I added garlic on a whim (recipe didn’t call for it) and loved it nonetheless.
