Welcome to this week’s Publix Super Meals. Each week I am going to share a recipe to help you take the Publix Super Deals and turn them into Publix Super Meals!

The weather is starting to cool off a bit and boy oh boy I am craving some comfort foods. When I looked through the ad this week, nothing was jumping out at me. Then I noticed the sale on potatoes and I instantly thought…Loaded Potato Soup!

This is a super easy recipe and only a slight variation of the one I ate all the time as a little girl. Potato soup night was one of my all time favorite meals. I adjusted my mom’s recipe by adding chicken broth.While my mom uses only milk in her recipe, I like the richness that half and half adds to the soup. To really kick this one up, serve it in a bread bowl – your family will come running!

By the way…with just a few modifications you have a rocking Broccoli Cheese soup too. I will have to share that one another day!
