Easy Baked Potato Soup
Easy Baked Potato Soup
Ingredients :
1 onion, diced
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
5 potatoes, baked, peeled and diced
2 cups half & half
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup sour cream
Salt & pepper to taste
Garnishes:
Sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
Chives
Sour Cream
Shredded Cheddar cheese
Ham
Directions :
In a Dutch oven cook bacon until crisp; remove and crumble; set aside.
If you have just cooked the bacon then cook the onions on medium-low heat in the bacon drippings until tender. If you are using leftover bacon or are omitting the bacon altogether then add about 2 tablespoons olive oil to the Dutch oven and cook the onion on medium-low heat until tender.
Once tender stir in flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually add chicken broth; cook, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly.
Put in the diced potatoes and half & half. If you like your soup very chunky you can leave it as is. If you like a slightly smoother soup you can use an immersion blender to blend it.
Continue to cook on medium-low heat for 10 minutes and stir in the cheese and sour cream.
Garnish with the bacon, chives, additional cheese, and sour cream if you’d like.
Serve and enjoy!
