A comforting Loaded Potato Soup featuring creamy potatoes, savory bacon, and melted cheese, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
- 2 gold potatoes, diced
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with crumbled bacon, additional cheese, and chopped green onions.
Notes
For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream before serving. Consider using turkey bacon for a lighter version.
