My family loves "Potato Skins", but when my daughter got her braces everything had to be soft and easy to chew. I created this quick and tasty soup so we could have the flavor in every spoonful. Enjoy this hearty and colorful soup any time of year.

This soup was delicious! I used a combination of russet and sweet potatoes, and added some extra garlic and onion. It was a hit with my family.

I'm not a huge fan of potato skins, but I loved this soup! The skins were crispy and flavorful, and the soup itself was creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I also think it would be good with some crumbled bacon or sausage on top.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually make a big batch and freeze it in individual portions so I can always have some on hand for a quick and easy meal.
