Loaded Cream of Potato Soup

This creamy potato version comes together surprisingly fast, but the yummy toppings make it feel extra special. It is also a great dish to serve to a crowd!

Loaded Cream of Potato Soup ingredients

Here is what you need:

2 onions
6 large carrots
6 cloves garlic
1/4 cup parsley
1 stick + 2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
10-15 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-size chunks
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
sour cream 
green onions or chives 
cheddar cheese
bacon (optional)
 

Chop onions for the creamy potato soup.

Step 1: Chop onions, carrots, garlic, and parsley.

Saute carrots and onions in a pan on the stove.

Step 2:  Melt butter in large soup pot over medium heat; add onions, carrots, garlic, & parsley and saute until soft, approximately 5-8 minutes.

Add flour to vegetable saute.

Step 3: Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Add chicken stock to vegetable saute.

Step 4: Slowly pour in vegetable broth, stirring well.

Add heavy cream into vegetable saute and stir well.

Step 5: Add heavy cream, milk, potatoes, salt, and peppers.

Allow soup mixture to thicken while occasionally stirring.

Step 6:  Allow soup to simmer and thicken until potatoes are well-cooked, approximately 25-35 minutes.

Scoop out half of the soup ingredients and blend until smooth. Mix back into soup.

Step 7:  Scoop out approximately 1/2 of the soup into blender, then pulse until smooth and mix back into soup. (An immersion blender also works well for this, but mine no longer works. If you are looking for a new blender, I highly recommend the Ninja!)

This Loaded Potato Soup makes the perfect comfort food meal on a cold day.

Step 8:  To serve, ladle into serving bowls, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese, chives, sour cream, & bacon.
