Potato Soup Recipe

You'll love this easy recipe for creamy Loaded Potato Soup. We skip the heavy cream and use a roux (flour, butter, broth, and milk) to thicken the soup. The chunks of potatoes and savory bacon bits in this cheesy soup base are so warming and satisfying. Add in a bit of sour cream and your favor

  1. Place sliced potatoes into a stockpot and completely cover with 1" of water. Season with ½ tsp salt and cook 8-10 minutes or until potatoes pierce easily with a knife then drain.
  2. Meanwhile, saute bacon in a Dutch oven until crispy and then transfer to a plate, reserving 1 Tbsp bacon grease in the pot.
  3. Add 4 Tbsp butter and chopped onions then saute until tender. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Quickly whisk in the flour then slowly add 2 1/2 cups milk and 2 1/2 cups broth, whisking constantly. Bring the mixture to a soft boil.
  5. Add drained potatoes and season soup with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper or season to taste.
  6. Stir in 3/4 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheddar, and half of your cooked bacon (reserving the rest for serving). Bring to a boil then remove from heat and serve with your favorite toppings.
