    Potato Cheese Soup loaded with chunky potatoes, bacon, corn and two kinds of cheese. A hearty potato soup recipe to warm you up on a cold night. It’s comfort food at its best.

    I love Marie Calendars potato cheese soup, and I have never found a potato soup recipe that I thought was better until now. Judy at Judy’s Kitchen posted her recipe for Baked Potato Soup and it’s so delicious. It tastes better than Marie’s soup, and it’s much lower in fat!

    Also included in this post is a Recipe Round Up. I’ve joined a fun group of bloggers to put together a roundup of recipes on the first day of every month. This month we’re sharing Comforting Soup Recipes.

    I like to cook meatloaf and baked potatoes on Sunday and cook extra baked potatoes to make this soup later in the week. It works out great and make the soup so quick and easy to put together. 

    I changed up the recipe slightly. Judy’s recipe mashes some of the potatoes and adds it to the soup. I prefer the creaminess of the soup without the mashed potatoes. But either way works. 

    You can use fat-free half and half or regular half and half if you prefer a creamier soup.  If you’re not familiar with half and half, it’s half milk and half cream.

    If you don’t have time to bake the potatoes, I also have a Pressure Cooker Potato Cheese Soup recipe. It’s ready in just minutes when you make it in a pressure cooker / Instant Pot.

    Either way you make it, everyone I know loves this potato soup. I’m sure your family will too.
