Creamy Potato Soup image

This is still one of my favorite soups when I'm not feeling well. As with a lot of other soups, it is even better the next day. I have cut up left-over chicken and put it in the soup also.....

This soup is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few extra potatoes lying around, and this soup is a great way to use them up. It's also a very affordable meal, which is always a bonus.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.

This creamy potato soup was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and had a delicious, creamy texture. I added some extra cheese and bacon, and it was even better. I'll definitely be making this soup again.
