My dad’s Baked Potato Soup is a family favorite. You’ve never quite had potato soup like this one!
Ingredients
6 large baking potatoes
1 medium onion, chopped or diced
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (add more if needed when cooking)
4 Tbsp butter
3 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups sour cream
Toppings (optional): bacon bits, green onion, shredded cheese
Here’s how to make it
Peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes. Place potatoes & onion in a soup pot with enough water to cover.
Cook covered on med-high until fork tender (about 15 minutes). Drain, return to the pot and mash (mash as much or as little as you like).
Add chicken broth, butter, garlic, and salt and pepper. Return to medium heat and bring to a boil. STIR CONSTANTLY!!! This will pop pretty badly - so don't get burned! (Add extra broth if the consistency is too thick)
Reduce the heat to med-low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. (I only let it simmer for about 5 min and I'm constantly stirring)
Add heavy cream and bring to a boil -- stirring frequently.
Once it's to a low boil, reduce heat to low and cover and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
Remove from heat and add sour cream. Return to low heat and stir until the sour cream has heated through.
Serve with toppings you love and enjoy!!
