Soup - Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Can you think of anything better than a delicious warm soup on a chilly day? Neither can I. Recently Ive been on a potato kick and have been craving baked potatoes so I decided to switch up the regular baked potato and make a loaded baked potato soup. Thank goodness its sweater and jeans time because this baby is certainly not low fat. Oh well, tis the season.

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour and continuously whisk for 5 minutes.
Pour the milk while stirring, so that clumps doesn’t form. Bring to a simmer and add the potatoes. Let it come up to a simmer again and cook about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
