LOADED BAKED POTATO SOUP
Everyone who has tried this soup loves it. It is a good soup for veggie haters. Baking the potatoes first gives them the perfect texture for this thick creamy soup. You won't be disappointed. I always serve this with crackers and top the soup with a bit more shredded Cheddar, crumbled bacon, and a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a roasting tray and bake for 45 minutes. When done, the tip of a paring knife should go through the potatoes easily.
- Slice the bacon into lardons (thin strips) and cook in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
- Add the flour to the drippings in the pot and stir to combine. Cook, without adding color, until the flour and fat has combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk while you whisk to incorporate. Cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
- Scoop out the potato pulp from the skins and add to the milk mixture. Mash with the back of a wooden spoon leaving it a little bit chunky.
- Add the cooked bacon (leaving a little out for garnishing the soup), 1 cup of the cheese, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted. Remove from the heat.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with sour cream (from a squeeze bottle), sprinkle with remaining bacon bits, grated cheese and chives.

Steps:
- 1. Over medium-high heat, melt butter in a 3 quart sauce pan. 2. Stir in flour and cook until flour has blended with butter. 3. Add chicken broth and stir constantly until mixture starts to thicken. 4. Add in milk and heat until it starts to simmer, stirring the whole time. 5. Stir in shredded cheese until smooth. 6. Add in potato flakes. 7. Add in LOTS of salt and pepper to taste - it really depends on taste, but I used 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper. Start with a little and go up as you need! 8. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, or pour in batches into a blender. 9. At this point, bring your soup to a light boil and add in your diced potatoes. 10. Stir constantly but allow potatoes to cook until they are al dente. You want to make sure you keep stirring so the soup doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. 11. Alternatively, you can boil the diced potatoes in a separate pot until al dente and add to soup right before serving. 12. Serve soup immediately with cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.

Steps:
- Fry the bacon in the bottom of a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot.
- Once the bacon is done, remove and set a side (chopp for garnish once it cools).
- Add the onion and garlic to the bacon fat left in the pot and sautee until the onions are translucent (medium-low heat so that the garlic does not burn).
- Wisk the flour into the onions and garlic mixture while in the pot and cook for an additional few minutes to cook out the flour.
- Slowly wisk in the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream.
- Add in the potatoes. Bring it to a boil then reduce to a low heat and cook until the potatos are tender.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and blend everything together with a hand blender (or you can blend it in batches in a regular blender).
- Turn off the heat (makes sure the heat is off or the sour cream will curdle) and add the cheddar cheese and sour cream and mix it all together.
- Serve topped with the chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream and sliced scallions.
Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of russet potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and red potatoes.
- Don't skimp on the cheese. Cheese is what makes loaded potato soup so rich and creamy. Use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well.
- Add your favorite toppings. There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for loaded potato soup. Some popular options include bacon, crumbled sausage, diced tomatoes, green onions, and sour cream.
- Make it ahead of time. Loaded potato soup is a great make-ahead meal. Simply prepare the soup according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheat the soup gently. When you're ready to serve the soup, reheat it gently over low heat, stirring occasionally. This will help prevent the soup from scorching.
Conclusion:
Loaded potato soup is a hearty, comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and endless topping possibilities, loaded potato soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
