Chunky Loaded Baked Potato Soup Recipes

LOADED BAKED POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wrap potatoes in aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool potatoes until easily handled and cut into cubes.
• Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and crumble.
• Combine milk, cream, sour cream, processed cheese, and Cheddar cheese in a large pot over medium heat; cook, stirring frequently, until cheeses are melted, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes and bacon to milk mixture and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until potatoes begin to dissolve into soup, about 20 minutes; season with onion salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a roasting tray and bake for 45 minutes. When done, the tip of a paring knife should go through the potatoes easily.
• Slice the bacon into lardons (thin strips) and cook in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
• Add the flour to the drippings in the pot and stir to combine. Cook, without adding color, until the flour and fat has combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk while you whisk to incorporate. Cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
• Scoop out the potato pulp from the skins and add to the milk mixture. Mash with the back of a wooden spoon leaving it a little bit chunky.
• Add the cooked bacon (leaving a little out for garnishing the soup), 1 cup of the cheese, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted. Remove from the heat.
• Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with sour cream (from a squeeze bottle), sprinkle with remaining bacon bits, grated cheese and chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Place bacon on a lined baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes or until crisp and most fat is rendered. Pour off the fat and reserve. Crumble bacon and set aside.
• Pierce potatoes with a fork and microwave on high until they are soft and baked through, about 8-10 minutes depending on your microwave. Set aside to cool, then peel and chop. I sometimes leave half with peel, half without for more texture.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in 2 tablespoons of reserved bacon fat. Saute onions and garlic in the butter until softened, about 6-7 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over onions and stir into a paste (roux). Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove raw flour taste, then whisk in chicken stock slowly, then milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
• When thick and bubbling, add salt and peppers, and then the cream cheese. Using a potato masher, mash cheese to melt and remove lumps.
• Add potatoes and use masher to create your desired texture. We like a thick soup with plenty of lumps of potato left. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to incorporate flavors. Add more seasoning salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve topped with reserved bacon bits, cheese, sour cream and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
