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.During maternity leave, a friend made us baked potato soup that lasted us a few meals. It was so good and I wanted to get the recipe from her.  At the moment I wanted to make it I didn't have time to contact her for her recipe, so I searched for one instead. A few delicious looking recipes came up, but this one caught my eye as the easiest (although they all are pretty easy) and the creamiest.

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.This soup is the perfect dish to warm you during these cold wintery days. I made it when my sister was visiting from Colorado, and she enjoyed it as well.  If you have big soup bowls, you might not want to fill them as this soup is very thick.  I misjudged it myself and filled our bowls three-quarters full and none of us could finish.  Of course, it didn't help that we were also chowing down on some hearty biscuits.

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.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup butter
  • ⅔ cup flour
  • 7 cups milk
  • 4 large baking potatoes baked, peeled and cubed (about 4 cups)*
  • 4 green onions sliced (and then more for garnish)
  • 12 bacon strips cooked and crumbled

  • Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes until potatoes are softened. Add remaining ingredients and stir until cheese is melted.

Notes

  • *My method to bake the potatoes:
    • Prick potatoes with a fork.
    • Place potatoes on center oven rack.
    • Turn oven to 425°F and bake 1 hour.
    • Turn off oven, do not open oven door!
    • Let potatoes sit in oven for 45 more minutes.
    • Remove from oven and let cool to touch.
    • Peel potatoes and cut into cubes.

    Want to make this but confused by directions. You bake the potatoes First then peel and cube? I don’t understand you can’t peel and cube a baked potato. Thank you

      Hi, good question! This is an older recipe of mine that I'd love to go back and update. But, in the meantime, yes you bake the potatoes first. Once they are cooled to touch, you take off the peel and cut the potatoes into cubes.

      You probably can, but I can't give specific instructions as I have never tested it.

    Since I love baked potatoes, this soup sounds delicious. The only thing I'd do different is use reduced-fat ingredients. Thanks for sharing and your photo looks great too!
