ultimate loaded potato soup
My whole family loves soups especially in the winter months. I end up having to make a lot because their is always some extra people showing up when I cook. My 4 year old son is a very picky eater but when it comes to this soup he always has multiple servings. If he likes it, I know everyone will too. A Keeper for your recipe box.
