Loaded Baked Potato Soup is all of the flavors of a loaded baked potato in one comforting, easy, and delicious soup!

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

It’s no secret around here that I’m a HUGE fan of soup. Especially this time of year, I seriously cannot get enough of it. Luckily, my kids love soup too, and this Loaded Baked Potato Soup was no exception!

I mean, this soup basically takes all of the amazing things in a loaded baked potato – bacon, potato, green onion, shredded cheese, and sour cream – put into a soup. This Baked Potato Soup is creamy, SO flavorful, and is definitely on our rotation all fall and winter.

How to Make Loaded Baked Potato Soup

This potato soup recipe starts by cooking diced bacon until nice and crispy. Next, the onion and garlic are sauteed in the bacon fat, and then shredded potatoes get tossed in and cooked slightly.

To the potatoes, add flour, and mix well, allowing it to slightly cook. The next step is super important, so listen up 🙂 You will very slowly add the milk, half and half, and chicken broth. VERY slowly. I like to slowly add it while constantly stirring it in. This will ensure the soup is super creamy, and worth having a little patience.

After this mixture is simmered until the potatoes are softened, shredded cheese and sour cream is added to the soup, along with the cooked bacon, and it’s ready to go. I told you – it’s easy!

This baked potato soup was a hit with the whole family, and I’m positive it will be with yours, too. We served it with a little side salad and some crusty french bread and it was such a tasty dinner on a chilly fall evening.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon diced
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 russet potatoes peeled and shredded, about 4 cups total
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • Add the garlic and shredded potatoes, cooking another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the flour, stirring well to combine, and cook for 1 minute.
  • SLOWLY add the milk, half and half, and chicken broth. Note: if you don't do this slowly, the soup will not be as thick and creamy, so have patience when doing this step.

  • Remove 1/2 cup of the soup in a small bowl, and mix with the sour cream. Return mixture to the pot, stirring to combine.
