Homemade Potato Soup

Homemade Potato Soup is a hearty soup for a cold day. This soup was so good and full of taste. I like that it doesn’t take all day to prepare either. It was ready to go in 45 minutes.

Homemade Potato Soup is comfort food! Topped with some bacon and cheese for a loaded version. You can’t go wrong with this! Shredded cheese and crumbled bacon are optional but anything that has potatoes, bacon and cheese are amazing in my book!  I like to serve this with sugar cornbread.
