Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Use real potatoes. Instant mashed potatoes in soup? That’s a crime against carbs.
- Taste as you go—you’re the soup whisperer here.
- Double the bacon. (No one will complain. Ever.)
DON’T:
- Skimp on the toppings. This is loaded potato soup, not kinda-sorta loaded.
- Rush the simmering step. Let those potatoes soak up all the love and flavor.
- Forget the sour cream—it’s the Beyoncé of this dish.
Optional Add-Ins and Variations:
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce if you like your soup with sass.
- Veggie Boost: Toss in some broccoli or corn for bonus nutrients (and guilt relief).
- Protein Party: Stir in cooked chicken or leftover ham if you need more oomph.
Loaded Baked Potato Soup is creamy, cheesy, and everything you love about baked potatoes in slurpable form. It’s the perfect way to say, “I deserve comfort food today.
