This soup is such a great one and it doesn’t take very much time! Recently, it was a cold day and I decided to make soup and not run to the store. That means I was going to have to come up with something that I had all the ingredients for.
I had actually never made this specific soup before. To be honest, my husband doesn’t like baked potatoes so I didn’t even think he would try it. He LOVED it. He even poured in on top of his broccoli for dinner. He’s not really a soup guy either so this fully surprised me. He was even disappointed when there were no leftovers to take to work the next day.
Ingredients you will need…
- Bacon
- Potatos
- Milk
- Bone Broth
- Butter
- Flour
- Garlic
- Onion
- Crushed Black Pepper
- Shredded Cheese
- Green Onions (optional)
Most of the ingredients for loaded baked potato soup I’m betting you already have. Truly, you can add or omit most of them as well. Next time I’m planning on adding cauliflower by putting it in a food processor to make it “cauliflower rice” and adding it in that way. Extra veggies that the kids won’t know are in there! If you make a lot of casseroles check out my Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe, I teach you how to make it at home instead of buying it in a can. Soup season is my favorite, even though it gets dark way too early now.
