Everyone in my house has been seriously craving comfort food these days.

As the weather gets cooler, the skies get darker, and the days get a little rainier and drearier. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we all crave filling comforting foods to get us through these grey wet days.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup is an awesome and simple way to make a warm, easy and filling dinner.

And of course anything with potatoes and cheese is always a winner. Searching around on the wonderful world of Pinterest I found many inspiring recipes and pictures of baked potato soup. Yummy!

Loaded Baked Potato Soup Recipe:

Enjoy this rich flavorful soup. Add your favorite potato toppings and create a new family favorite in your kitchen! I made this in a 4 qt crock pot Yields 8-10 Servings.

I peeled my potatoes. A very light, thin skinned potato (find out more about potato varieties at Potatoes.com) might skate by without peeling, but for the creamiest texture your going to want to take the time to peel them

This version is a textured soup with chunky potatoes. We loved the mouth feel of all the parts. Potato bits, cheese….bacon. Filling and sustaining. Oh it’s so good!

For a very creamy smooth version, more akin to mashed potatoes use an immersion blender. Or pour the chunks into a big blender and whit away until its all smooth.
