📝 Ingredients

For the soup base:

  • 4 large russet potatoes (baked or boiled, peeled and cubed)
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings (optional but recommended):

  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped green onions or chives
  • Extra sour cream
  • Extra bacon bits
  • Cracked black pepper

🍽️ Instructions

1. Bake or Boil the Potatoes

  • For best flavor, bake potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 45–50 minutes until fork-tender.
  • Let cool slightly, then peel and cube.

2. Cook the Bacon

  • In a large pot, cook chopped bacon until crispy.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Leave 1–2 tbsp bacon fat in the pot for added flavor.

3. Sauté the Aromatics

  • In the same pot, add butter and chopped onion.
  • Sauté until soft, about 4 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

4. Make the Roux

  • Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Slowly whisk in milk and chicken broth until smooth.

5. Add Potatoes and Simmer

  • Add cubed baked potatoes to the soup.
  • Simmer for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
  • For a creamier texture, mash some of the potatoes in the pot using a spoon or potato masher.

6. Finish the Soup

  • Stir in sour cream, half of the bacon, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer another 5 minutes on low heat. Do not boil.

7. Serve and Garnish

  • Ladle soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese, bacon, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream.

👩‍🍳 Tips & Variations

  • Make it vegetarian by skipping the bacon and using vegetable broth.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
  • Add cooked chicken or ham for extra protein.
  • For ultra-smooth soup, blend half the batch before serving.

🥗 Serving Suggestions

Pair your baked potato soup with:

  • Crusty bread or dinner rolls
  • Side salad for balance
  • Grilled cheese sandwich for extra comfort

📦 Storage Tips

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring well.
  • This soup can be frozen, but the texture may change slightly due to the dairy.
