Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best texture, use a combination of russet potatoes and red potatoes. Russet potatoes will provide a creamy base, while red potatoes will add a slight chewiness.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this soup, so be sure to use a good quality cheddar cheese. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it doesn't melt as well.
  • Add some bacon: Bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup. You can use cooked bacon or bacon bits.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great base for experimentation. You can add different vegetables, meats, or cheeses to create your own unique soup.

Conclusion:

O'Charley's Loaded Potato Soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and loaded toppings, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
