Baked Potato Soup With Sharp Cheddar #SP5
"Official Contest Entry: Simply Potatoes 5Fix. It's a wonderful and very filling soup for those late cold nights. The hearty warmth of the potatoes and the delicious peaks of flavor weaving in from the bacon makes for a whole meal. I used five of my husband's favorite ingredients to create the ultimate curl up on the couch dinner. The soup becomes even better when paired with your favorite bread. We prefer a soft garlic bread to dip into the soup and clean up the last few drops on the bottom of the bowl."

<p>I have a million hobbies and my favorite one is feeding people. I like coming up with new recipes for others to enjoy. It's funny. I'll happily make Beef Wellington for my friends and my husband but if it's just me, I'll sit down with a bowl of Cambell's soup.</p>
