The other day I had some leftover baked potatoes that I needed to do something with. So of course my first thought was Loaded Baked Potato Soup, creamy, yummy potato goodness. My mom has a great recipe that you make using only cream. I decided that day though that I wanted to find a recipe that was a little more budget friendly and that uses milk. I ended up adapting a recipe that I found at Baking Like Betty. However, I think the original recipe would have worked just fine. It would probably just depend upon if you want it really creamy or not.
Come back tomorrow, I’ll share the recipe for the 15 Minute Cream Biscuits I served with the soup.
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
- 4 lg. baking potatoes (I had 8 small to medium leftover baked potatoes that I used)
- 2/3 C butter
- 2/3 C flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 6 C milk (I used 5 cups of skim milk and 1 cup cream)
- 1 C sour cream (I used reduced fat)
- 4 thinly sliced green onions
- 10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 1 C shredded cheddar cheese
- Scrub potatoes, pat dry & cover with foil. Bake for 75 minutes at 350 or until tender; cool completely.(Or use leftover potatoes from another meal)
- Peel and cube potatoes.
- In a large pot melt the butter, stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Use a whisk to make sure any lumps from the flour are smoothed out.
- Gradually add milk a 2 cups at a time. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for a couple minutes or until thickened.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add cubed potatoes. Heat until warm. Mix in sour cream.
- Garnish with bacon, cheese, and green onions. Yield 8 servings.

This is amazing! I have started making it the night after we have meatloaf and baked potatoes. The leftover baked potatoes, bacon and sour cream make a curtain call in this dish to rounds of applause from my picky eaters.
Thanks for posting it.
this turned out delicious…. i substituted two cups of chicken stock for two of the cups of milk/cream…. it turned out so yummy and very easy to make!
Very good! Thanks for sharing this. I only had 3 leftover baked potatoes so I halved the recipe…I added some garlic powder and bacon while it cooked and it was amazing…the family liked it too.
We are having our first “cool snap” and I cant wait to make this for my family tonight!! Will post how it goes after!!!
This is very tasty, made it the other day.
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I believe you created some great points in Features also.
Where is the sour cream in the recipe?
Cooked it today and I have to say it was pretty good
Thanks!

I order this soup out in restaurants a lot but have never attempted or even thought of making my own at home-I can’t wait to try out your recipe. It looks and sounds so hearty and satisfying-YUM!!
I made this yesterday with some Mexican cornbread. It was perfect. I didn’t change a thing.
Lots of Great information in your posting, I bookmarked your site so I can visit again in the future, Cheers

mmmm……..
This looks wonderful – I cannot wait to make this comfort food at its finest soup!! hehe!
Tolle Arbeit mit dem Blog hier. Wir kommen bestimmt bald wieder und sehen was es neues gibt
I’ve used the above recipe, with the exception of using 6 cups of milk (no cream) for years and it’s the best out of all the recipes I’ve ever tried. I don’t like the ones using chicken stock. I always use 2% milk but have tried 3 cups skim and 3 cups 2% with no detrimental affects. Yum…I want some now!
Beautiful photo. I know this soup is delicious from making it before!
