Loved it! Changes I made... 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth instead of water. Powdered onion, no bouillon, left over mashed potatoes with sour cream, used just enough potato flakes to thicken the soup up to add the milk, a 1/4 teaspoon of salt since we didn't add bacon. This is a kid recipe too. My ds and dd loved it.
