Loaded Bacon Potato & Leek Chowder
Like a loaded baked potato made into a rich, comforting soup! This one-pot recipe comes together quickly thanks to Condensed Cream of Potato Soup; it gives the dish its creamy base, and adds an extra dose of savory flavor to the potatoes, bacon, and veggies. If you’re really pressed for time (you can say you wanted the soup to look more rustic!), you can skip peeling the potatoes - it will still be delicious. Why not double up and keep an extra batch in the freezer for rainy nights?
