In the winter months, there is nothing better than to cozy up with a cup of homemade soup. I love a good potato - whether it is baked, scalloped or mashed. When creating this recipe, I combined my favorite potato toppings to make a Loaded Potato Chowder. Follow my blog on Instagram for more winter recipes @hellofoodreviews.
