Baked Potato & Cheese Soup
This is my first attempt at creating a soup recipe from scratch to combine some of the favorite foods in our family. My two girls, and their friends, really enjoy this hearty soup. Cut back on the onion and garlic powder if you find those flavors overwhelming, but we like both. There is no reason that oven baked potatoes could not be used if you have leftovers or just don't like the texture of microwaved potatoes.

Notes
From the 2010 Elkin Soup Off. The original recipe card listed bacon among the ingredients without saying where to add it; cooked and crumbled into the soup base above.
