Baked Potato Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into small cubes.

2. 2

   Cook the Vegetables

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Add Potatoes and Broth

   Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Stir in Cream and Season

   Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat through on low heat.

6. 6

   Serve the Soup

   Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, crumbled bacon, and sliced scallions.
