I lost my Baked Potato Soup recipe was looking for something close. I think this was very similar to the one I used for years. I substituted fresh chives for green onions, because that is what I had. I also cut the cheese and bacon way back. I just thought that was too much. Even still it was a very nice soup, rich, creamy and very filling.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My husband and I moved to a small town in Wyoming to help care for my aging grandmother. Unfortunately she has passed, but we are eager to carry on her tradition of excellent food. The short time we were able to spend with her, she taught me a few new recipes and FINALLY got me into the habit of preparing homecooked meals each evening. It's quite addicting!
