Baked Potato Soup

This is one of those delicious recipes that you can make any time you want something just so....well... yummy! My mom found this recipe in a magazine once and it became an instant hit at our house. It freezes well so you can keep serving sizes in your freezer to heat up for a warm lunch or quick dinner. It would also be a great dinner to share with someone else, like a sick neighbor or friend. The pictures really don't do it justice, it's thick and creamy, and delicious. The last one ended up blurry, sorry about that.
