Description
Experience the ultimate comfort food with this rich and creamy loaded baked potato soup, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Bacon bits for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once tender, use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes to achieve a thicker consistency, while leaving some chunks for texture.
- Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and sour cream until everything is well blended. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions and crispy bacon bits if you like.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with whole milk and use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
