​If you don't know exactly what kind of recipe your looking for, try clicking on a category to search through Winter Warm Ups, Healthy Choices, Crock Pot Dinners or 30 Minute Meals.  You can even look through my own personal favorite recipes.  (It will probably come as no surprise to you that there are a LOT recipes of chocolate under the "My Favorites" category.)

The newest recipe to get placed into the "Winter Warm Ups" category is this Loaded Baked Potato Soup.  You will also find it on the soup page of my recipe index.  Of course, if you want to save it for later, follow my Pinterest boards and pin this recipe for another day. 

Loaded Baked Potato Soup
7 russet potatoes, diced
6 cups water
2 chicken boullion cubes
2 onions, diced
6 tbsp butter
6 heaping tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground mustard
5 oz cream cheese, diced
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tbsp crumbled bacon
​1/4 cup shredded cheese

Boil potatoes in water with chicken boullion for 15 minutes.  

Saute onions in butter in seperate saucepan.

Stir in flour, salt, pepper and ground mustard.

Stir in cream cheese.

Slowly whisk in milk.

Once the texture is smooth, ladle in potatoes and enough water to make desired consistency.

Garnish with bacon bits and cheddar cheese.

I made this soup in the middle of January and it was literally 72 degrees that afternoon.  It just never fails.  Every time I plan soup for dinner - the temperatures start to skyrocket.  It's a good thing that my family is such good sports - they're used to sweating over their soup bowls by now.  

Ciao!
