A simple baked potato soup recipe, perfect for a cold night.
Photo Updated January 2013
It looks like it’s potato week here on Taste and Tell – this is my second potato dish this week!
I usually blog about just about everything I make. But lately – I blame it on the pregnancy – I’ve been a bit lazy. Especially over the holidays. Our meals were quite simple and nothing to really write about – just needing to get something on the table. This potato soup was one dish that I made – having no intentions to blog about it. It’s just a simple potato soup, after all. But after one bite of it, I knew I needed to blog about it. This was delicious!! And it was incredibly easy, fast and comforting.
I love it when the most unexpected dishes end up being the best ones!!

This is HORRIBLE but makes this even better I promise…cook your bacon in the oven at 400 for about 12 minutes or until crispy…the grease will be clean and clear..liquid gold..use this instead of the butter…wooaaahh mama!

I made this last night and added shredded cheddar and green onions to it. The green onions gave it a really nice spicy kick. A great soup!
