Baked potatoes, loaded with bacon, green onions, and cheese, in thick and hearty soup form.
If you know me, you know I like potatoes - all sorts of potatoes. But with all this cold weather, I figured it time for soup. So, when I saw this recipe on Cooking During Stolen Moments, I knew I'd be eating Loaded Potato Soup! This soup combines all the wonderful flavors of a loaded baked potato with the warming quality of a thick and hearty soup. My soup came out a bit dark because I left the skins on. If you want a lighter colored soup, simply peel the potatoes first.
What's your favorite way to enjoy potatoes?

Baked potato soup is one of my personal favorite soups to have especially during the cold winter time. Bacon always seems to make just about anything taste better.
ReplyDeleteGotta agree with that one! It's got all the flavors of a fully loaded baked potato, and all the warmth of a soup. :)
