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.
CROCK POT - STYLE LOADED BAKED POTATO SOUP
If you like loading your baked potatoes will all those delish dairy ingredients, then you'll love this soup recipe, too! Original recipe calls for only four slices of bacon, but I -- being a little piggy -- love the bacon, so we always use more like 8 to 12 slices. You decide which you prefer.

LOADED BAKED POTATO SOUP
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.

This soup is so easy to make and yet so delicious. You can very easily whip up a bowl for lunch or dinner when you are in a big hurry. Leftovers of this soup reheat beautifully for lunch or dinner the next day. Just save some of the toppings for sprinkling or spooning on the next day. I really love this soup.

LOADED BAKED POTATO LEEK SOUP
Steps:
- 1. In your soup pot, melt the butter and throw in the leeks. Cook them until they're soft, about 10 minutes or so over medium-high heat. Add salt and white pepper. 2. Then dump in the broth and potato chunks. Actually, dump in the potatoes first, then the broth. That way you won't splash the broth (just a little) like I did. 3. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20-30 minutes or until the potato chunks are tender enough to eat nicely. I tasted one and it was perfect. 4. Turn off your stove's heat, then use a slotted spoon to remove several spoonsful of potato/leek chunks to a bowl for safekeeping. Using an immersion blender or your regular blender, blend the soup until smooth. 5. Add the chunks you saved back into the soup, along with the heavy cream. Stir together. 6. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, and bacon on top. Oh, yum! Thick creamy deliciousness with cheesy drips coming off of your spoon

Steps:
- Set a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the oil, onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions are just starting to become translucent. Add the diced potatoes and simmer for another couple of minutes, then add the chicken stock. Let the stock come to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 20 - 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and stir in the yogurt. Transfer half of the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) to puree about half of the soup. The potatoes should still be somewhat chunky, but also creamy. Serve immediately and top with your favorite toppings.
Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: A combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes creates a creamy and flavorful soup.
- Roast the potatoes first: Roasting the potatoes before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor.
- Don't skimp on the toppings: Loaded baked potato soup is all about the toppings. Be generous with the cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives.
- Make it ahead of time: This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Freeze for later: Loaded baked potato soup can also be frozen for later. Simply cool the soup completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Loaded baked potato soup is a hearty, comforting, and flavorful soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
