Delicious soup. The prep time doesn't include baking the potatoes. This soup is great in a bread bowl!

I have made this soup quite a few times. I have also used pepper jack cheese instead and add a few drops of hot sauce & a pinch of cayenne pepper, for an extra zip! Excellent!

Very simple to make. My four year old really does not like soup; however, he loved this one. Really good with extra cheese.
