This Loaded Baked Potato Soup is a creamy bowl of delicious flavors from a loaded baked potato that will keep you warm on a cold day.
Be patient when waiting for the soup to thicken. It took about 10 minutes of stirring before it reached my desired consistency. The recipe below reflects this time frame.
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup butter
- 2/3 cup flour
- 7 cups milk
