Baked Potato Soup Recipe

This recipe is sooo good. I never liked creamy soups until now and just in time for winter (although it was 60 yesterday). I made this recipe Tuesday for dinner and my hubs and I have been eating it for lunch or dinner every day (I doubled the recipe so it would last us longer). It has a little kick that is just right. This soup will definitely hit the spot! Hope you enjoy!

Baked Potato Soup Recipe from allrecipes.com

Ingredients

  • 3 bacon strips, diced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large baked potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Minced fresh parsley

Directions

In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Set bacon aside. Saute onion and garlic in the drippings until tender. Stir in flour, salt, basil and pepper; mix well. Gradually add broth. Bring to boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, cream and hot pepper sauce; heat through but do not boil. Garnish with bacon, cheese and parsley.
