Loaded Bake Potato Soup
When my kids were little it was often hard to find something that everyone would eat. This soup was a recipe I could always rely on to make everyone happy.
Loaded Bake Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 2 cups bacon chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 5 ounces cheddar cheese grated
- 4 green onions chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 quarts milk
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 2 cups chicken stock as needed to thin soup
- 4 large baking potatoes
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450F degrees and bake the potatoes until fork tender (1 hour).
- Brown bacon in large heavy pot. Remove the pan from heat. Remove bacon from pan and remove half the fat.
- Press the roasted potatoes through a potato ricer into the pot. Add milk and return to a low heat. Soup will thicken after about 10 minutes. Cook for at least another 5 minutes after the thickening begins. Add chicken stock to thin to desired consistency.
- Whisk well, add sour cream and half the cooked bacon. Heat thoroughly. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add cheese a little at a time until all is melted in. Stir in green onions. Serve. Top with crumbled bacon.
