  1. Wow! I have been looking for the perfect recipie for baked potato soup for years and I hit the jackpot with this one! Made it while we were snowed in over Christmas and it was excellent. Simple to make, yet smooth as silk and the flavor and consistency were restaurant quality. Thank you for sharing!
     
  2. You've got a winner here! This is the same recipe I've been using only I use yellow gold potatos cooked in a covered casserole in the microwave for 6-8 minutes or until tender, and I leave the skins on.... Very good soup!!!
     
  3. Easy to make and really tasty. My family enjoyed it topped with cheese, crumbled bacon, chives and a bit of sour cream, yummy!
     
  4. Very hearty and thick! Children loved it. Easy to make. I just put the cheese on as a topping on each bowl. Next time I think I'll sprinkle on some bacon bits, too. Yummy. I'll definitely make this again.
