Baked Potato Soup
This is an excellent soup. It is easy to make and has great
flavor. It would also be very good cooked on top of the stove.

Author Note: The only thing that beats the comforting flavor of this thick
and hearty potato soup is possibly the idea that it simmers on it own all
day in a slow cooker.
