I want to try to make some homemade...recipes on this vary...anyone have one they really like. If you have ever eaten at Cheddar's...they have my favorite baked potato soup and am looking for something similar to that.

Found this on the internet - don't know if it's just like Cheddar's or not. I'm definintely going to give this one a try....think it sounds great!!
BAKED POTATO SOUP (LIKE CHEDDAR'S)
FOR THE ROUX:
1/2 lb butter
1 1/2 cups flour
FOR THE SOUP:
12 cups potatoes, cubed (1/4 to 1/2-inch)
3 strips bacon
1/2 cup diced celery
3/4 cup chopped onion
12 cups water
1/2 cup chicken base
1 1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 pint Half & Half
1/2 pint whipping cream
1/2 lb American cheese (melted)
1 3/4 tsp salt
TO SERVE (garnishes):
shredded Cheddar cheese
scallion, chopped
parsley
crumbled bacon
TO MAKE THE ROUX:
Make Roux in skillet before making soup. Heat butter over medium heat. Add flour all at once whisking vigorously. When mixture thins and starts to bubble, reduce heat to low and cut back on whisking. Cook until you smell a toasty aroma (be careful not to burn the mixture). Cover and set aside to cool.
TO MAKE THE SOUP:
Boil potatoes in water to cover until aldente (DO NOT OVERCOOK!). Drain, cover and set aside.
Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet, place on paper towel to drain, and then crumble; set aside.
Saute celery and onions in bacon drippings; set aside.
In 6 quart pot, combine water, chicken stock, celery, onion and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Add Half & Half, whipping cream and salt, stirring while you add. Add Roux. Cook over low heat mixture until Roux is totally integrated.
Add potatoes to soup. Cook 10 minutes at low simmer.
While soup is cooking, melt cheese in microwave. Add cheese to soup and stir in well.
TO SERVE:
Add garnish, as desired, after dishing into soup bowl.
Makes 1 1/2 gallons (6 quarts)

Well, mine is not really homemade. Its a Creamy Potato soup mix from Bear Creek Country Kitchens that I buy at Walmart. Super easy (just boil water and put in the mix and simmer), cheap (less than $4 for half a gallon) and so delicious. We just add bacon crumbles and cheese to it to make it baked potato...could also put some sour cream in, but we never have. Man, now I'm hungry!

My sister makes all the Bear Creek soups from Wal-Mart and brings them over to my parents, since my mom rarely cooks anymore. But I've never heard her talk about the Creamy Potato. I'll see if my local Wally's has it. Sounds good.

I have a super-easy one
1 pkg Betty Crocker Mashed Potatoes- butter & Herb flavor
1 lg. can chicken broth
1 c. grated cheddar
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 c. sour cream
1 pkg bacon, diced
In a soup pan, prepare the potatoes as directed. Add chicken broth and simmer on medium heat, stirring often. In a frying pan, cook bacon until it is to your own desired consistency. Add it to the soup. Mix in garlic, cheese & sour cream and reduce heat. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often.

My friend who is cooking-impaired has watched me make it for a few years now, and because I moved 600+ miles away, tried it on her own. LOVED how easy it was to make, you really can't screw it up!
