Baked Potato Soup is a hearty and comforting dish made with tender baked potatoes, creamy broth, cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and green onions—perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, baked and diced
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tbsp of drippings in the pot.
  2. Add butter to the pot and sauté onion until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the diced baked potatoes and let cook for 10 minutes, slightly mashing some for texture.
  6. Stir in milk, sour cream, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Simmer until heated through and thickened.
  7. Serve hot, topped with remaining cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Notes

  • Use leftover baked potatoes to save time.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and use vegetable broth.
  • Adjust thickness by adding more broth or milk as desired.
