baked potato soup

here’s another soup recipe we’ve made recently. it really is just like a baked potato with all the fixins, but in soup form! it tastes cheesy, and creamy, and ranch-y (that’s not a word, but you know what i mean). and when you add bacon into the equation, you know it’s gonna be good!!

it takes a little bit of prep, especially since you need to bake the potatoes ahead of time, but it’s well worth it! regardless of time, the best part is that it really doesn’t take a lot of ingredients to make, and you probably have most if not all of them at home already. oh, and i’m giving you the recipe with the full amount of basil that the recipe usually calls for, but if you’re not a huge fan of basil, feel free to take it down a notch.

enjoy!
