I ran a holiday contest on July 4th. The requirement for a second contest entry was a stockpile recipe! We all have couponing stockpiles, and new recipes to utilize those stockpiles are always welcome. You can find a complete list of Stockpile Recipes here, under the same named category tag.

Yumm~ I love potato soup made with bacon! Thanks for sharing Kathie and Ann!
I love Baked Potato Soup! Thank you for the fantastic recipe!!!
Yum! I’m gonna try this!!! Thanks Kathie!
If it wasn’t going to be scorching hot this weekend, I would cook this up, but I will file it away!
I’ve been enjoying seeing the submissions in this recipes series. Can’t wait til it is soup weahther again. I am not really a summer gal.
This recipe sounds wonderful but my husband does NOT like sour cream. Can anyone that has made this before tell me if you can actually taste the sour cream in it?
Don’t know if I can wail until Fall, I may just have to “bake” the potatoes in the microwave so I don’t over heat the house. This recipe is especially useful since I have some sour cream to use up. Guess I bought too much on that good catalina deal at Tops a while ago!
