I absolutely love how thick and creamy this soup is. Serve with some crusty bread and a tossed salad for a delicious and comforting soup supper. It’s a recipe that will appeal to the whole family.

Make It Vegetarian

I leave out the bacon and sub vegetable broth for chicken broth to make a vegetarian Baked Potato Soup for my daughter.

This recipe is a little different from most baked potato soup recipes in that there’s actually no baked potato used in it. The potatoes are diced and cooked right in the soup. So technically I guess it should just be called Potato Soup. But either way, it is super yummy and easy.

Tips For Making Baked Potato Soup

I use a combination of Pepper Jack cheese and cheddar cheese to give this soup a little spice. For extra spice, you could add diced jalalpeno or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Or you can use all cheddar cheese if you don’t want it spicy at all.

If you want to you can mash the potatoes a little before serving if you want it to have a less chunky texture.

Be sure not to let the soup boil after adding the sour cream.
