The BEST Baked Potato Soup
A delicious, filling soup that will make everyone want seconds.
This is the most delicious baked potato soup recipe, it takes all the wonderful flavors of a stuffed baked potato and creates a creamy soup that makes me feel like a rock-star when I serve it. Even my soup-hating son, likes this one!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup + 2 Tbsp Flour
- 2/3 cup butter
- 2 Tbsp bacon grease
- 10 cups milk (warmed up)
- 4 green onions, green and white chopped plus more for serving
- 4 lbs potatoes, baked, peeled, & cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream
- 2 Tsp salt (I like more)
- 1 Tsp pepper
- 6 oz sharp cheddar, shredded plus more for serving
- 1 lb bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled for serving
Directions
- Melt butter and bacon grease in large pot until bubbly. Add flour and whisk well, cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly add warmed milk, whisking well. Whisking constantly, bring to a boil (it will thicken).
- Add green onions and cooked potatoes – switch to a spoon so you don’t pulverize your potatoes, keep stirring, making sure to keep the mixture from scorching. IF you start feeling the bottom scorch, don’t scrape the bottom with your spoon. It will be fine.
- Bring back to a boil, turn to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Add sour cream and cheese, stir until melted and remove from heat.
- Ladle into bowls, top with cheddar cheese, green onions and copious amounts of bacon.
