Excellent potato soup
My family and I love this soup. With some shredded cheese and turkey bacon crumbled on top it makes for a good meal. I use green onions for a topping as well when I eat my soup.
For the recipe I find using butter makes for a better soup and when the salt and pepper are added, I also add some dried chives.
This is an excellent soup that my family and I have enjoyed for over a year and a half now. when it comes time for soup this one usually wins over my broccoli cheese soup.

Best Ever Potato Soup
My husband is a connoisseur of Potato Soup. For several years I have been looking for a good potato soup recipe with no luck. As soon as I read this recipe I knew it was the one I had been looking for. I am incapable of adequately describing how delicious this soup is. My husband always begs me to made a double batch. It is so quick and easy to make I have even taught my husband how to make it! I probably make this soup once a month. It makes a great light lunch on the weekends.

Baked Potato Soup
This is the fastest and easiest soup I have ever made. I love the flavor of the soup and it helps to warm you up on a cold winters day. It is also very filling.
