Instructions
Baked Potato Soup constitutes everything you like about a baked potato, like the cheddar cheese, sour cream, chives, and bacon bits. Once you taste it, you will be obsessed.

- Once those veggies cooked in butter, add the broth, bay leaves, garlic head, and salt.

- Then remove the bay leaves and garlic heads. Grind the heads into a paste and put back in the soup.
