Baked Potato Soup

ByJulie

January is soup month.  It’s the last day of the month so I’m slipping this soup post while I have an excuse to do so.  I LOVE soup.  It’s warm, delicious and is perfect on rainy days.  We don’t have snow here, so rainy cold days are the closest thing I get.


This recipe is from the wonderful Maria at Two Peas and Their Pod.  Her pictures make me drool and her recipes always follow through.  This soup is no exception.  It’s positively divine.  I was so happy eating it.  The pepper does wonderful things for this soup.  When I was done, I was perfectly content and cozy.  Please make this soup soon.  You’ll be happy you did.

  2. Thank you! I just put 4 potatoes in the oven. I have a 10lb bag for 2.5 people courtesy of my future in-laws and we are a little bake potato-ed out. Plus I LOVE (I call it Loaded potato soup) this soup, but never made it myself.

  4. I love this soup too. I'm the only soup eater in the house though. Oh well. I made a half batch and had it for lunch two days in a row. We eat potatoes a lot in our house, it's always nice to have something else to do with them. I hope you enjoyed the soup!
