Can you think of anything better than a delicious warm soup on a chilly day? Neither can I. Recently Ive been on a potato kick and have been craving baked potatoes so I decided to switch up the regular baked potato and make a loaded baked potato soup. Thank goodness its sweater and jeans time because this baby is certainly not low fat. Oh well, tis the season.
Butter | 5 Tablespoon | |
Onion | 1 Small , diced | |
Garlic | 2 Clove (10 gm) , diced | |
All purpose flour | 1/4 Cup (4 tbs) | |
Milk | 4 Cup (64 tbs) | |
Russet potatoes | 3 , peeled and cubed | |
Sour cream | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
Salt and pepper | To Taste |
MAKING
In a pot over medium high heat melt the butter and add the onion and garlic. Cook until translucent, for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour and continuously whisk for 5 minutes.
Pour the milk while stirring, so that clumps doesn’t form. Bring to a simmer and add the potatoes. Let it come up to a simmer again and cook about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
Add the sour cream and mix together. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
SERVING
Top the soup with crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and sliced chives. Serve and enjoy.
