Chunky Loaded Baked Potato Soup

This delicious and creamy loaded baked potato soup (with BACON) is like comfort in a bowl. A recipe that is easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd. It also freezes well!

With the cooler weather on its way (I’m very very hopeful), this is a perfect excuse for SOUP. I love soup. I could cheerfully eat soup at every meal. Besides. Any excuse to eat BACON! I can get this on the table within 30 minutes of arriving home (less if I prep the ingredients the night before!) This is one of my family’s favorites. I make it ahead on a weekend, and keep it in the fridge for whenever we need a quick meal that week. Or, I take it for my lunch, and usually scarf it by 9am, because I can’t stop thinking about it.

It’s like eating one of those decadent loaded baked potatoes you get at a steak house, in soup form. You really can’t go wrong.

Make these rolls while you make your soup. You’ll be a hero, I promise!!

You can mix it up as much as you like, add more onions, celery and potatoes, or less if you want to. LOTS of toppings, or just a few? All or just one? (I recommend all, but you do you, kay? JUST DON’T LEAVE OUT THE BACON!!)

Here are the simple ingredients that go into the soup:

As most of my soup recipes will say, this lends itself well to the freezer, despite its cream factor. I keep mine for around 3 months, if they last that long!

When you see soup on a menu – what flavor is the one that you can’t resist ordering?

Want more soup? Of course you do!
