There’s nothing like a good bowl of soup on a snowy day and this winter I set out in search of just that. Typically my winter staple is Chicken Tortilla Soup, but things changed in 2010 and I fell in love with Creamy Baked Potato Soup. Every time potato soup was listed as soup of the day I just had to have it. The craving became so bad one night I decided to tackle it at home and went to my trusty Cooking Light cookbook. The rest was history. If you are looking for a good hearty soup for those cold wintery nights I can rest assure you will not go wrong with a good creamy potato soup!
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1 1/2 cups soup, 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons onions, and about 1 tablespoon bacon)
