This Exceptionally flavorful and hearty baked potato soup recipe, with all of its toppings and ingredients, is worthy of being a tasty one-dish meal for your family. Isn’t everyone walking that fine line between easy and yummy?
This baked potato soup is so easy, I make it quite often. It’s one of those simple meals that even if you are alone, you don’t mind making. Often times when I am baking potatoes for dinner, I will bake a few extra with the mind set of making this soup within a couple of days.
This soup, minus the bacon bits, would make a great addition to a vegan meal.
I have a friend who pours this soup over hamburgers or just cooked ground beef and says her family loves it.
I splurge a tad when I eat this soup. Although, it does have some good sources of iron and calcium.
