This is one of my families favorite soups, I know it seems like I say that about every recipe I post, but it’s true. I only post recipes that my family really likes. I figure if they like them then most people will too.
The picture of the soup looks like a twice baked potato, doesn’t it? I decided to use the potato skins as the bowls, less dishes to wash, which is always a bonus.
You could serve the soup with a some crackers but that’s just plain ole’ boring. To mix things up a bit I like to serve it with baked chicken and orange slices.
