One of my go-to soup recipes and a reader favorite! It's such a creamy, hearty, comforting soup. While the toppings (cheddar, bacon, and green onions) are optional I highly recommend them for that loaded baked potato style flavor!

For a creamy and smooth soup, use a high-powered blender or immersion blender to puree the potatoes and vegetables until completely smooth.
If you don't have a blender, you can also mash the potatoes and vegetables until smooth with a potato masher.
To make the soup even more flavorful, roast the vegetables before adding them to the soup.
For a thicker soup, add more potatoes or cornstarch.
