Joyful Cooking - Loaded Potato Soup

Hello Fellow Thrifters and Friends,

   I could not resist making a soup during this small bit of colder weather. I just love curling up on the couch with a warm bowl of soup. Nothing better. This recipe was so easy, and will definitely go into the make again pile. That pile is getting large because Pinterest makes finding recipes just a bit to easy for me.
