Easy Loaded Baked Potato Soup

This soup is addictive.  Seriously. It’s almost last meal material if you ask me….and even better, it is easy. I have also made this soup from scratch with milk, cream, flour, etc. but honestly, it tastes just as good using the cream of potato soup and saves you time and effort. So, why not?

Oh, and you know I can’t resist an old commercial (plus I must give credit where credit is due):
