Week 46: 

RECIPE OF THE WEEK FROM OUR CULINARY INSTRUCTOR GAIL BLAKELY – THE PERFECT COMFORT FOOD

I came late to the party with this soup.  I have tried baked potato soup made by other people, and liked it, so I thought I would give it a whirl.  I was amazed at how good it was!  Depending on your garnishes, it can be strictly vegetarian, if you wish.  But I did the whole “loaded baked potato” version, using Kayem bacon, a new item in my supermarket.  Next time I served it, I sauteed some pancetta, and sprinkled that on top.  You can probably get by with just cheddar cheese and some minced scallions—either way, I think this is a great soup to serve while it’s still cold enough to snow!
