BAKED POTATO SOUP
This satisfying soup replicates the great flavor of a baked potato that's been topped with all of the works-except we've used healthier toppings like turkey bacon, reduced-fat sour cream, reduced-fat shredded cheese, and raw scallions. It's still a super-filling dream come true in a bowl. You'll find yourself reaching for this recipe whenever you want to warm up after a long winter day. The best part is you can roast the garlic and potatoes directly on the oven rack; there's no need to wash a baking sheet. If you don't have a potato masher, simply use a large spoon, but keep in mind it may take just a little longer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Wrap entire garlic bulb tightly in foil; place garlic and potatoes in oven. (You do not need to put them on a pan; they can go right on an oven rack.)
- Bake garlic until soft when squeezed, about 45 minutes; remove from oven and let cool. Continue baking potatoes until tender when pierced, about 15 minutes more; let potatoes stand until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6 minutes. Place bacon on paper towels to drain off any fat; chop bacon.
- Unwrap garlic and squeeze pulp from bulb with hands into a large saucepan. Peel potatoes and add to saucepan; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Gradually stir in broth, thyme, salt and pepper until blended; place saucepan over medium heat and cook until hot, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Spoon about 1 1/3 cups of soup into each of 6 soup bowls. Top each with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of cheese, 1 rounded tablespoon of bacon and 1 tablespoon of scallions. Grind fresh pepper over top if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F Prick potatoes. Place on the oven rack and bake until tender (about 1 hour). Let potatoes sit until cool enough to handle. Peel 2 potatoes and cut 2 into 2 inch pieces. Mash coarsely the remaining two potatoes. (I would like to leave the skins on the 2 potatoes cut into pieces and peel for the mashed ones.) Stir mashed potatoes into the diced potatoes.
- Heat a large nonstick Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Crumble the bacon and set aside. Add the onions and garlic to the drippings in the Dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally until onions begin to brown.
- Combine the evaporated milk and flour in a medium bowl, beating with a whisk until smooth. Add the milk mixture, broth, potatoes, and pepper sauce to the Dutch oven; increase the heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and cook; stirring, until the soup is thick and creamy, about 6-7 minutes.
- Remove the Dutch oven from the heat; stir in the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, salt and ground pepper.
- Divide the soup among 12 bowls; top each serving with cheddar cheese, scalions and reserved bacon. Serve at once.

CROCKPOT POTATO SOUP FOR WEIGHT WATCHERS
I have not tried this yet, just got it from a friend who has been making it weekly and says it's easy and very filling, with 3 1/2 WW points per 1 cup serving. I can't guarantee that it's "Weight Watchers". It looks like a basic soup that other vegetables could be added to (such as broccoli or cauliflower) to add nutrients without adding a lot of calories. Note: after seeing the calorie and fat count on this, it doesn't look like a weight watchers' item! However, I'm keeping it on here for a filling, easy soup that I'd like to try.

Tips:
- Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes, often called baking potatoes, are the best choice for baked potato soup. They have a high starch content, which gives the soup a thick and creamy texture.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. This will ensure that they are cooked through and will blend smoothly into the soup.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth: If you are watching your sodium intake, be sure to use low-sodium chicken broth. You can also use vegetable broth if you prefer.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the soup is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, chopped bacon, sour cream, and chives.
- Make it ahead of time: Baked potato soup is a great make-ahead meal. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months.
