Loaded Baked Potato Soup Recipe

November 18, 2021

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This Loaded Baked Potato Soup is rich and creamy with all the toppings! This is a rich and creamy soup made with homemade chicken broth, heavy cream, and tender chunks of potatoes, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and crispy pieces of turkey bacon. 

This is my older sister’s favorite soup and it is delicious, filling, and easy to make when the temperatures start to drop. 

Key Ingredients in Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Russet Potatoes

The best potatoes for this soup is a good starchy potato – like russets. 

Chicken Broth

The chicken broth is one of the major components of this soup. The soup will taste like whatever broth you are using. Water would make this soup a little bit more bland tasting and a rich broth would make the soup rich and flavorful. 

Use chicken or veggie broth to maximum flavor!

Veggies, Herbs, and Spices

The rest of the soup is made up of chopped onions, celery, garlic, freshly ground black pepper, fresh or dried thyme, and cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper adds a tiny bit of spice that complements the potatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream very nicely. 

Heavy Cream

The heavy cream makes the soup rich, creamy, and delicious. 

Toppings

The toppings really bring everything together. I topped my soup with lots of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions from my garden, and crispy turkey bacon.
