Nothing better than a steaming hot bowl of baked potato soup to fill your tummy on a harsh winter day. This one is the best as far a we are concerned. The tender potatoes and the rich creamy soup, topped with cheddar and bacon. Doesn't get any better. Simply awesome. Thanks Nurse Di.

This soup is pure gold. Nothing comforts me more than something creamy and potato-filled. This soup was better than all the rest I have tried. It had a rich and creamy base. The green onions, bacon and cheddar were the perfect enhancers. We all voted and agreed this one deserved more than 5-stars. Thanks Nurse Di.

This soup is really good! Make it a quick weeknight meal by microwaving the potatoes! I added the bacon and green onions directly to the soup, instead of using them for toppings, and the added flavor was nice.

This was good, but not the best I've had. If it weren't for the bacon, cheese, & green onions the soup would have pretty unflavorful. The toppings are what make it.
