Cattle Company's Loaded Baked Potato Soup image

This is the best potato soup you will make. The restaurant close a few years back here and I had to find the recipe. Leftover baked potatoes will work well and it's also your preference if you would like them peeled or unpeeled.The last time I made this I doubled it and kept the butter the same.
