Loaded Baked Potato Soup #vegetarian #potatoes
This Loaded Baked Potato Soup is a warm and soothing soup that is rapidly made in under 30 minutes!
She has a splendid tip – microwave your potatoes to eliminate the cooking time. I immediately destroyed my spuds in the microwave while I was concocting some bacon on the stove top. Before I knew it, the soup was prepared!
The main thing I changed about this formula was that I abandoned a portion of the potato skins on the potatoes. We cherish the surface of them and I preferred how it gave the soup somewhat more profundity.
It's clearly absolutely discretionary and would stun in any case.

INGREDIENTS
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 8 bacon slices
- 4 tbsp unsalted Challenge Butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low fat milk
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- Minced fresh chives, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pierce the potatoes multiple times with a fork, then microwave them for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender.* Carefully halve the potatoes and let cool. Once cool enough to handle, remove the skins, and cut into chunks.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Reserve up to 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan, discarding the rest. Once the bacon has cooled, crumble it into small pieces.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the reserved bacon fat, garlic and onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion is tender. Slowly whisk the flour into the pan and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and half-and-half. Keep whisking until smooth. Gradually add the chicken stock. Bring to a light simmer and whisk in the kosher salt, garlic salt and pepper. Keep at a light simmer until the mixture has thickened slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
- If you’d like to use cheeses and bacon as a garnish, reserve 1/4 cup of t each. Stir in the remaining cheeses, remaining bacon, and the sour cream. Remove the pot from the heat. Scoop potato chunks into the pan, breaking them into small pieces or leaving them chunky, depending on your preference. Serve hot, topped with your favorite garnishes, like cheese, bacon and chives.
NOTES
*If desired, you can bake your potatoes in the oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bake the potatoes directly on the rack for 45 minutes or until fork tender.
