Chunky Baked Potato Soup

My oldest sons favorite food is baked potatoes! He asks for them multiple times a week! So we almost always have russet potatoes at our home to add as a side dish or an after school snack for my son.
 
This soup is a perfect one to use up your extra baked potatoes. Which is great with meal prep and planning. I always like planning out my meals so that I know ahead of time to make a little extra of something to make my life easier on another meal. Also if I do not plan ahead especially on bacon my family will eat every single piece that I make so I like to know if I will be needing bacon crumbled other days of the week so that when I make bacon for breakfast on the week I take out a few pieces and set them aside before I serve them to my family.
 
So this meal can be a very easy week night meal with a little planning ahead! It is different then my crockpot loaded baked potato soup. But can be just as easy as my crockpot soup with a little planning ahead! I do like the ingredients in this one more than my crockpot loaded baked potato soup too!
