Baked Potato Soup Recipe 2

Do you love baked potato soup as much as I do? It’s one of my favorite recipes in the winter. I love sharing my favorite cold-weather recipes, and this Baked Potato Soup Recipe is the best. It’s a scrumptious and filling recipe that will be perfect for the whole family. If you like potatoes, bacon, and cheese, you are going to be in heaven!

Not only is this baked potato soup delicious, but it’s relatively fast for a potato soup. Let’s get started!

Baked Potato Soup Recipe

Baked Potato Soup Recipe

I can never get enough of this baked potato soup. It’s loaded with tons of butter, milk, cheese, and bacon. It’s definitely not on any of the healthy diet plans out there. 🙂

But it’s DELICIOUS! And it’s relatively fast for a soup recipe. Only 40 minutes! 

You need to have a few ingredients on hand to make this baked potato soup.

Ingredients Needed:

  • potatoes
  • milk
  • butter
  • flour
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • green onions – chopped
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • bacon
  • sour cream

How to make a baked potato soup

Step 1:  If you haven’t cooked your potatoes yet, go ahead and peel the potatoes, cube them, and cover them with water. Boil the water for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.

Step 2: Take the bacon slices and cook in a skillet over medium heat. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Step 3: In a large saucepan, melt your butter over medium-high heat and whisk in the flour until smooth. Slowly pour in a little milk at a time and continue to stir. Slowly add the milk to allow it to thicken slightly.

Step 4: Add in the potatoes and the chopped green onion and stir. Increase heat slightly until your mixture comes to a boil. Lower heat and allow the soup to simmer, and stirring frequently. While simmering, go ahead and chop your bacon slices.

Step 5: Add in the bacon slices, sour cream, salt, pepper, and cheese until mixed well and the cheese is melted. Serve warm and with toppings of sour cream, bacon, green onion, and cheese if desired.

    I sent this recipe to my husband this afternoon with a little note that said, “Hint hint.” Sadly, a snowstorm hit our town today and he couldn’t stop at the grocery store on the way home because the roads were too dangerous.
    Tomorrow, maybe!

    We love soup in the wintertime. This looks delicious! Pinning! I made a great soup last night and of course I was flying by the seat of my pants and wrote nothing down. But I can duplicate it. I think it’s a blog post!
