Ingredients
Before we start, let’s round up our ingredients! Get your detective hat on, because we’re on a mission to gather:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk (or cream if you want to live the high life)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (because who doesn’t love cheese?)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional, but come on, it’s bacon!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chives or green onions for garnish (make it look fancy)
Instructions
Now that we’ve got everything, let’s jump into the cooking adventure!
- In a large pot, combine diced potatoes, chopped onion, and broth. Bring it to a boil. Don’t look away, or you might find a potato trying to escape!
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Feel free to use this time to reflect on your life choices or watch cat videos.
- Once the potatoes are soft, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. If you like it chunkier, take it easy on the blending!
- Stir in the milk (or cream) and shredded cheddar cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese is melted and everything is nicely combined. It should look like a cheesy dream!
- Mix in the sour cream, and season with salt and pepper. Add more cheese if you’re feeling extra cheesy!
- Serve hot, and top with crumbled bacon and chives for that Instagram-worthy finish. Your friends will think you’re a professional chef!
And there you have it! A bowl of baked potato soup that’s easy to make and even easier to devour. Time to grab your spoon and dig in! Enjoy the culinary masterpiece you’ve created!
