Loaded Potato Soup Recipe

Instructions

Cook the Potatoes:

In a 4-quart saucepan, add the diced potatoes and cover them with enough water to submerge them (about 3-4 cups).

Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. This usually takes around 10-15 minutes.

Prepare the Soup Base:

Once the potatoes are cooked, add the milk, chicken bouillon cubes, diced onions, dried parsley, garlic powder, dried basil, salt, pepper, and hot sauce to the saucepan.

Stir to combine all ingredients.

Thicken the Soup:

Quickly sprinkle the flour into the soup while stirring to avoid lumps. This will help thicken the soup and give it a creamy consistency.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the soup cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken.

Add Cheese:

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and blends into the soup. This will make the soup rich and cheesy.

Prepare Garnishes:

While the soup is cooking, fry the turkey bacon until crispy. Once cooled, dice it into small pieces.

Serve:

Ladle the soup into serving bowls.

Garnish each bowl with additional shredded cheddar cheese and the diced bacon for added texture and flavor.
