I had a bunch of leftover baked potatoes and my neice loves stuffed baked potatoes, so I thought I'd take a crack at this recipe. It turned out great. Everyone loved it. I did one thing differently, and one thing "wrong". I left out the brocolli, which I don't care for. And instead of removing the cooked bacon before sauteing the onion, I left it in. My sister said it was too "wobbly" and would be much better had it been crisp. But this could not have been an easier soup to prepare. I highly suggest you try it.

You're right this soup tastes just like a loaded baked potato! My DH was so impressed, and my 4 yr old even requested to take it in her lunch today versus PB&J...her usual. I changed a few things to suit our family..like I boiled the potatoes, kept the skins on and added more salt. This is something I never thought I would ever make, but it turned out wonderfully! Thanks so much!!
