Loaded Baked "Potato" Soup
"Low-carb, Sugar-free, THM:S, Gluten, Egg, Nut free if using non-contaminated ingredients - A hearty, warming soup - just like loaded baked potato soup...without the potatoes. But don't worry! It still tastes like potatoes! ((See the note at the bottom of the recipe for how to make this into a yummy ham chowder.))..."
