Thousands of people have tried my recipe and claim it’s not only the best Loaded Baked Potato Soup they’ve had but the best soup in general. I love anything loaded and potato, so this soup is a hit in my house! This serves about 4-5 people comfortably, but if you’re a big eater like myself (lol), feel free to double the recipe!

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.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Creamy, bacon, cheddar and sour cream loaded baked potato soup
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon thick sliced, chopped
- 1/4 cup scallions chopped, plus more for serving
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Adobo to taste
- 3 pounds potatoes peeled and cubed into even-sized pieces
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- To the same pot, add the scallions, garlic and flour, whisking constantly to make a roux. (A roux is a thick flour base for your soup)
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, milk and seasonings. Stir to combine.
- Toss in potatoes. (Your liquid should cover the potatoes slightly) If needed, add or remove milk at this point
- Cook on medium heat 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
- Stir in cheese and simmer on low heat, until cheese is melted.
- 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 didn’t exactly followed the recipe since i don’t have any scale but it turned out really good !
Made this soup for the first time last night and hands down, this is the best potato soup I’ve ever had!! Very easy to make. I added cubed ham to mine per my husband’s request and it was delicious.
Oh my freaking gosh‼️ I made this last Sunday and it was a hit ?? My boyfriend loved it. So soooo easy to make. My local grocers didn’t have heavy cream so I had sub with heavy whipping cream but it still came out bomb ?? Will definitely be keeping this recipe in my back pocket ???? Looking forward to making the broccoli and cheese next..

I like to know If you bake the potatoes before, or you just pit them in raw.

The soup recipe looked too good to not try. Made it step by step for the fam last night and it was PHENOMENAL!! I can’t wait for another bowl lol….Thank you so much for sharing and I’m definitely making the Mac n Cheese recipe for Thanksgiving!!
This is hands down probably the yummiest soup I have ever made!!!
I was afraid using the bacon grease for my roux was going to make the soup greasy, but it just packed in so much more flavor.
The recipe was easy to follow and I had basically all of the ingredients already on hand.
I will for sure be making this soup again and again!!!
