How do you make baked potato soup, Belladonna? That sounds interesting… we love plain old potato soup, but this sounds even better…

I have a baked potato soup recipe here if you want to check it out-

It is one of my favorite soups and I make it often!  It's a “baked” potato soup because the ingredients and taste combinations are just like what you'd have on a fully-loaded baked potato.

I love to make soups in my crock pot.  Here is a recipe for a healthy Brunswick Stew.


Brunswick Stew

(Makes 8 servings)


1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts (raw), cut into bite-sized pieces

2 potatoes, thinly sliced

10 3/4-oz. can tomato soup

16-oz. can stewed tomatoes (I've also used petite diced tomatoes and liked it better)

10-oz. package frozen corn

10-oz. package frozen lima beans

3/4 cup chopped onion

*Cabbage (optional)

1 or 2 bay leaves add more flavor

1/4 teaspoon salt (Watch this measurement - you can always add it later, but can't take it out!)

1/8 teaspoon pepper


1.  Combine all ingredients in large bowl and place in cooker.  *I put cut up cabbage on the top — because we love cooked cabbage in our stew.

2.  Cover.  Cook on High 3 hours.  Reduce to Low and cook 2 hours.  (Depending on how your crock pot cooks, adjust cooking time.  You just want to make sure those potatoes are done!)


I serve this with corn muffins.


I made this yesterday - thank you so much, it was divine!  I also made Grandmother Bread, I have never baked bread in my life.  It was a great day, new recipe, homemade bread, also wine, of course.  I love this site and this forum.  Thank you for creating it!

Do you do anything else to the Roast beef with Horseradish?  That sounds really good to me.

Laura, I'm so glad you tried and enjoyed the Brunswick Stew recipe!  It heats up great for lunch the next day.


I want to try the roast 'beast' recipe (we live in Who-ville here) with horseradish myself.  I love horseradish — I put in in my meatloaf.  I have a monster roast that needs cooking — so I may start the thawing process today and cook it tomorrow!


As for the baked potato soup, I make it on Christmas Eve and serve it with another soup, salad and hot rolls.  It has become a tradition.  I suppose I shouldn't mention the C word yet.  The baked potato soup brought up that memory in my mind…

Not really, I add a little salt, pepper (and onion if you like, but it doesn’t really need it.) The horseradish does amazing things to the flavor! I pile it on thick… I add a 1/4cup of water at the start- not sure if that is needed, as it seems to get always make a ton of drippings.

Okay it's 10 p.m. I just got home from the football game (we won in double overtime) and this all sounds soooooo delicious.

I am not a real big cook, I try, I'd rather watch it being prepared on the food

network, but sis taught me a good one I like, just take a cheap roast, add in

a bit of water, any veggies, and some pepperoncini peppers from a jar. Just

cook all day, it's very delish!
