Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large baking potatoes (Idaho or russet)
12 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups 2 percent low-fat milk, heated
5 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces sour cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

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.

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.

Tips

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for russet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes, and use a good quality cheese that melts well.
  • Don't skimp on the bacon: Bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup. Use at least 1/2 pound of bacon, and cook it until it's crispy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give the soup a more complex flavor. Try using a sharp cheddar cheese, a mild Monterey Jack cheese, and a creamy Gouda cheese.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender, but they should not be mushy. Cook them until they are easily pierced with a fork, but not so long that they fall apart.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika.

Conclusion

Loaded baked potato soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying soup, give this loaded baked potato soup a try.
