HOW TO MAKE CREAMY POTATO SOUP?

Today, something savory!

Savory and fluffy, this dish is brimming with bacon, sour cream, and cheese. You are also aware that we do not specialize in healthy food around here, correct?

Today I’m going to share with you a simple and delectable one-pot creamy potato soup recipe! This is a favored comfort meal in my home since it is loaded with bacon and fluffy potato goodness.

None at all!?) , and while I am not a sports fan, I do know that this will be an excellent dish to prepare ahead of time and enjoy during this weekend’s big game.
