Loaded Potato Soup

A creamy and hearty soup made with potatoes, bacon, cheese, and other flavorful ingredients.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the bacon until crispy; remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes and chicken broth; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup for a creamy texture.
  5. Stir in the milk, cheddar cheese, and sour cream until well combined and heated through.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve topped with crumbled bacon and green onions if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute bacon with smoked paprika or omit it entirely. This soup reheats well, but you may need to add more milk to adjust consistency.
