LOADED BAKED POTATO SOUP



Loaded Baked Potato Soup image

Everyone who has tried this soup loves it. It is a good soup for veggie haters. Baking the potatoes first gives them the perfect texture for this thick creamy soup. You won't be disappointed. I always serve this with crackers and top the soup with a bit more shredded Cheddar, crumbled bacon, and a dollop of sour cream.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 large red potatoes
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
½ gallon milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon onion salt
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:
