baked potato soup
I am a young mom, and I wanted something easy and delicious to make. I have perfected this recipe, and my husband and toddler love it! It tastes just like 54th Street Bar and Grill. Goes great with bread or a sandwich.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This baked potato soup is anything but another potato soup recipe. To begin, the base is made similar to a chowder starting with a roux and adding milk. Thick and velvety, it has the flavors you'd find in a loaded baked potato. The sour cream gives it a little tanginess and the bacon bits add saltiness and texture. Green onions sprinkled on top add a pop of fresh flavor. This is a hearty and easy soup recipe that's pure comfort food for the colder fall and winter weather.
