HOLY MOLY POTATO SOUP

Holy Moly Potato Soup image

This is a turned-up version of a cheesy potato soup. We eat this often, especially on cold winter evenings, but it'd be lovely for family get-togethers or potlucks during the holidays! Crushed red pepper flakes really turn up the heat. -Angela Sheridan, Opdyke, Illinois
