Baked potato soup is a tasty way to use leftovers

Doris Malin, of Baltimore, was looking for some recipe ideas for using leftover baked potatoes. She says that frequently the potatoes are so large, she only eats half at a meal and saves the other half instead of throwing it out. She was looking for some creative ways to use the saved potatoes.

Betty Hamilton, of Bend, sent in a recipe for making a soup that uses leftover baked potatoes. She says that this simple soup makes the perfect winter comfort meal when served with garlic bread and a green salad. Since I didn’t happen to have any leftover baked potatoes, I had to start the soup by baking the potatoes first. Not a big deal. The soup was so satisfying and delicious that I would recommend making it even if you are not trying to use up your leftovers.

Betty Eichelberger, of Frackville, Pa., says that several years ago, there was a recipe for meatloaf on the bottle of A1 steak sauce. She has misplaced her copy and was hoping someone might still have it and be able to share it.
