Baked Potato Soup

If we’re being honest, a baked potato isn’t really about the potato. It’s about the toppings: plush sour cream, butter, cheese, salty bacon, bright scallions. This soup version doesn’t skimp on those extras: The potatoes simmer in milk with garlic and scallions until just tender, then they join sour cream and Cheddar in the pot before the toppings — including potato skins — are added. It’s potatoey, creamy and adaptable. Make it smooth or textured, skip the bacon and-or serve it with a side salad (though it’s plenty hearty all on its own).

With tender diced baked potatoes, rich chicken broth, and a generous meld of grated cheese, every spoonful is packed with comforting, familiar flavors that work together seamlessly to create a deeply satisfying meal.

You can expect a velvety, thick soup with substantial chunks of tender baked potato. It's incredibly savory and creamy, balanced by the sharp notes of cheese.

Garnished with crispy bacon, fresh chives, and a dollop of sour cream, it truly tastes like your favorite restaurant-style loaded potato in liquid form.

You can also vary the toppings, adding extra crispy bacon bits or a different herb like dill for a fresh twist.

Serve this hearty Cheesy Baked Potato Soup as a warming main course, garnished generously with fresh chives, extra cheese, sour cream, green onions, and bacon for that authentic loaded potato experience.
