Darryl's Original Baked Potato Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes.

2. 2

   Cook the Onions and Garlic

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Add Potatoes and Broth

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

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

5. 5

   Stir in Milk and Seasonings

   Stir in the milk, salt, and black pepper. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through.

6. 6

   Serve and Garnish

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