Tips to making the perfect Loaded Baked Potato Soup;

  • Follow the recipe closely: This recipe is tried and tested by thousands of people! It’s straight to the point and easy!
  • Get good ingredients: The soup consists mainly of potatoes, cream, butter, bacon, and cheese. Using better-quality ingredients will go a long way. I like to shred my cheese for this recipe and use thick-sliced bacon!
  • Nail your Roux: A roux combines equal parts flour and fat (in this recipe, we will use butter). Roux’s are common in Southern, Cajun, and Soul Food dishes because they help thicken sauces and, sometimes, they add flavor. When making a roux, your fat is added and melted, and then you stir or whisk in flour. For optimal results, your roux should be thick and smooth. If your roux is clumpy, the ratio of ingredients is imbalanced. You can correct this by adding tbsps of chicken broth, one at a time, to thin your roux.

Ingredients 

  • 3 lbs potatoes peeled
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar freshly grated
  • 1 lb bacon thick sliced
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup scallions chopped
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 quart heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • salt, pepper, adobo to taste

Instructions 

  1. Peel 3 lbs of potatoes. Set aside
  2. Cook bacon in a large pot, remove, and add Garlic scallions and flour to the same pot making a roux. (A roux is a thick flour base for your soup)
  3. Pour in chicken. broth, heavy cream, milk and seasonings. Stir.
  4. Toss in potatoes. (Your liquid should cover the potatoes slightly) If needed, add or remove milk at this point
  5. Cook on medium heat 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft
  6. Stir in cheese and simmer on low heat
  7. Serve hot and load it up with sour cream, scallions and bacon!

Notes

Every bacon will produce a different amount of fat content. Stir in the flour for the roux slowly! Once you have a creamy roux, stop adding flour. If using turkey bacon, I would suggest adding 2 tbsps of butter to the roux.

    I had to sub scallions for a bit of yellow onion. It’s what I already had on hand. Best potato soup I’ve ever made! Thank you for this wonderful soup recipe!
