One of mine and Joel's favorite past-times is going to O'Charley's for their loaded potato soup, so when I found a copycat recipe for it, I just had to try it!!!


This delicious soup has become a classic. It is comforting but also reminds me of how much he loved this place, especially this time of year around football season before visiting with friends to watch a game.


Bonus because this is great frozen and kept to thaw for later!

Baking and cooking has long been a love of mine. There is something about sharing food I've created with my hands for those I love. It's a long language for me to get to host, feed, and partake with my friends and family. So, I hope you enjoy the recipes on our blog for your own family.


Happy Cooking,

Lauren
