I’ve tried quite a few potato soup recipes in my life, but I have to admit that this is one of the best I have ever eaten. My whole family loved it, and quickly finished off the leftovers the next day. On a chilly Fall night, this creamy, cheesy soup really hits the spot. I served it with Ultimate Cheddar Bay Biscuits and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
4 baking potatoes
1/2 cup butter
4 cups milk
2 cups chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 - 8 oz container sour cream
Scrub potatoes clean and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour, or until soft. Scoop out the inside of the potatoes and set aside.
Cook bacon until crispy, crumble and set aside.
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the milk, chicken broth, potatoes, salt, pepper and bacon. Stir well and cook for 10 minutes, or until soup is heated through.
Add the cheese and stir occasionally until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Mix in sour cream until well blended.
Taste for seasonings and serve immediately.
Garnish with chopped green onions, additional bacon and shredded cheese if desired.

I can't wait to try this Potato Soup! My family loves potato soup so this should be a real hit! I pinned this to my boards and before I could get away from Pinterest it already had 4 repins. Wow!!
I would love it if you would pin this to The Blog Hop Blitz on my blog! I followed you on Pinterst and Facebook.
Thank you for pinning it Betty! :)
Hi April,
This soup looks awesome! Hope you are having a great weekend and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I noticed it says the chicken broth is divided, but I don’t see anything in the directions about how to divide it. Is there supposed to be some flour or corn starch as a thickener? The soup is awesome! I have made it half a dozen times, but just wanted to clarify on the broth being divided. Thanks!
Thank you for catching that Sarah. I’m scratching my head on that one, because the broth isn’t supposed to be divided at all. If you would like to thicken the soup up, you can mix 2 tablespoons of arrowroot powder or cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of water, blend well, then pour into the hot soup at the end of the cooking time. Allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally and serve. I corrected the directions, and am so glad you enjoyed the soup. Thanks for the feed back. :)

Oh yum! I love that you made your potato soup in a bread bowl- did you make that yourself? It looks fabulous! I'm a true Idaho girl, and I just can't get enough of potato soup!
Thanks for sharing with us at Saturday Dishes!
Hi Jamie :) Yes I did make those bread bowls, and my family LOVES them. I updated this post, and included a link to the recipe for them under the picture. I'd love an update on how you liked the recipes if you get a chance to try them.
April, I can't wait to try this- and thanks for sharing the bread bowl link!
