What is Loaded Baked Potato Soup?

Loaded Baked Potato Soup is a creamy, velvety soup made from a base of pureed potatoes, often thickened with cream or milk. It’s loaded with the classic toppings you’d find on a baked potato, such as crispy bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream. The combination of creamy texture and bold flavors makes this soup the ultimate comfort food.

This version is made from scratch with fresh ingredients, and it’s just as easy to make in your kitchen as it is to order at a restaurant. Plus, it’s a perfect make-ahead meal that can be reheated for lunch or dinner throughout the week.
