Description

Loaded Potato Soup is the ultimate comfort dish, packed with creamy potatoes, crispy bacon, and rich cheddar cheese. This hearty soup is made with simple ingredients like russet potatoes, milk, butter, and sour cream, and is perfect for warming up on cold days. Top it with green onions and extra bacon for a restaurant-quality experience at home.


Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant.
  • Add diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  • Use a potato masher or immersion blender to slightly mash the potatoes, leaving some chunks for texture.
  • Stir in milk, sour cream, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the soup topped with crumbled bacon, remaining cheese, and green onions.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of milk or add more mashed potatoes.
  • You can use half-and-half or heavy cream for a richer version.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure your broth is gluten-free.
