February 12, 2014 at 21:50Any way you make potatoes makes this girl happy. Being from southern Idaho where the potatoes are grown, I love potatoes. And potato soup is one of my favorite ways to eat them. I see bacon bits in the list of ingredients but I don’t see where they go in. Thanks for sharing at Saturday Dishes.

Jennifer says
September 2, 2014 at 20:33I have had them for a while, but they were purchased from a Southern Living party several years ago. They came with a matching tray and pitchers. Super cute! 🙂

October 20, 2014 at 13:32Have you ever substitued chicken broth for the boullion and water? I just ask because I’ve found chicken broth that has lower sodium than boullion.
Jennifer says
October 20, 2014 at 14:14That’s a great question! I have not, but I am sure it would be fine to do so. 🙂
Theresa says
January 25, 2016 at 20:22Could milk be substituted for the half and half?
Jennifer says
January 26, 2016 at 15:00You could do that, but it will take a way a little from the richness of the flavor.
