You will love this unique potato soup. It's easy to make because the potatoes can be cooked and cubed the day before. It's very creamy and filling and the fat free half and half adds a little sweetness so I don't suggest you substitute it. Kick it up a notch by adding more Franks hot sauce to the recipe and top it with more Franks and loaded topping when you serve.

How To Make loaded potato soup

Step 1

Bake the potatoes in your oven or microwave then let cool. Peel and dice the potatoes. This can be done a day ahead.

Step 3

Add the flour to the celery onion mixture and make a roux. Add the milk, half and half and fat free half and half and slowly bring to a boil until thickened.
Step 4

Add the bouillon, salt, pepper, hot sauce and basil and stir well. Add potatoes until heated but don't let it boil. Serve with loaded toppings of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, bacon bits and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
