Baked Potato Soup

Yesterday was a cold, dreary, and rainy day in Central Indiana. I decided that I needed to make a soup to warm me up. This is one of my favorite soups to make this time of year. And the best part you ask? It is from Cooking Light magazine! That’s right! 🙂 All the taste without all of the calories and fat. This soup is so quick and easy to make-the perfect weeknight meal. To make it even easier you could bake the potatoes in the morning or even the night before so that all you have to do is throw it in a pot and you have homemade soup in less than 25 minutes. This rich and creamy baked potato soup topped with green onions, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon is sure to warm you up on a chilly fall night. Serve this creamy soup with pretzel rolls and a side salad for a comforting homecooked meal.
