Stacy loves a baked potato, and she likes creamy soups, and she is a sucker for a restaurant with creamy baked potato soup. So, why not make it at home. On a whim she looked this up and said, "Let's have baked potato soup for lunch." A short time later we were eating a delicious soup topped with locally raised bacon. Oh, and the skins were great as an appetizer the next day. --Mark
