Baked Potato Soup has always been one of my favorite meals at large family gatherings.
My grandma found the recipe in our local Hy-Vee cook-book, and made a few slight modifications. I was lucky enough to get the recipe from her and thought that the rest of the world should know about it too! This recipe is truly very easy to pull together. Peeling & chopping the potatoes can be a little time consuming of course, but it’s totally worth it, I promise!
