Description
A warm and comforting loaded potato soup that’s creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes.

Notes
For a creamier texture, use heavy cream instead of milk. Customize with various toppings or add-ins like broccoli or different cheeses.
