How To Make Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Brown and Cook Bacon. Cook bacon in a large 5-6 quart pot over medium heat. Cook and stir until crisped. Remove bacon and place onto a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Saute Vegetables. Add onion, carrot and celery to hot oil, stirring and cooking until fork tender, about 5-8 minutes.

Add Flour. Whisk in flour, stirring until well combined, letting cook for a few minutes.

Stir in Chicken Broth. Stir in chicken broth and half of the bacon, stirring to combine.

Cook Diced Potatoes. Add diced potatoes, salt, pepper and garlic salt, stirring to combine. Let potatoes cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. With the back of a fork, mash most of the potatoes and vegetables, this creates a thick, creamy soup base.

Tip: I found it helpful to dice my potatoes into small pieces, all close to the same size so they cook quickly. Another note, the recipe called for 4 large Russet potatoes and I only ended up using 3 of them. The recipe also called for 4 medium red potatoes and I used 6 small ones. You’ll see when you start adding them to the liquid in this step, how many feels right. If you put too many diced potatoes here, they won’t have much liquid to cook in. Eyeball it and add what feels appropriate which will be dependent on the size of the potatoes.

Add Cream. Stir in cream and let warm on low-medium heat for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer until ready to serve.

Garnish Soup Bowls and Serve. Serve each cup of soup topped with shredded cheese, remaining bacon crumbles, and chives or green onion.

How To Serve Loaded Baked Potato Soup

1. Serve the soup with your favorite baked potato toppings such as shredded cheddar cheese, the remaining cooked bacon and we love chopped chives or green onion.
2. Another topping idea is sour cream if desired.
