How do you thicken loaded potato soup?

There are a few ways you can thicken this loaded potato soup recipe. The first way is to add some flour to it. You will want to add about 1/4 cup of flour and mix it well.

Another way you can thicken it is by adding some instant mashed potatoes to it. This will help to thicken it up and add some extra potato flavor.

Lastly, you can also add some heavy cream to it. This will make it nice and creamy. Just be careful not to add too much, as it can make the soup too thick.

Is loaded potato soup healthy?

This recipe for loaded potato soup is actually pretty healthy. It’s packed full of potatoes, which are a great source of vitamins and minerals.

They’re also a good source of fiber, which is important for keeping you regular. The soup also contains some healthy fats from the bacon and cheese. So, overall, this soup is actually pretty nutritious.

Can you add milk to soup instead of cream?

If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to heavy cream, you can definitely add milk to this soup instead. Just be aware that the soup will not be as thick and creamy.

You can also use half and half, which is a mixture of milk and cream. This will give you the best of both worlds in terms of thickness and creaminess.

What kind of cheese can you use in soup?

There are a variety of different cheeses that you could use in this soup. A good sharp cheddar cheese would be delicious. You could also try pepper jack cheese or even Swiss cheese.

Basically, any type of melting cheese would work well in this soup.

Do you have to cook potatoes before adding them to the soup?

It’s actually not necessary to cook the potatoes before adding them to the soup. The potatoes will cook in the soup as it simmers.

However, if you want your potatoes to be extra soft, you can go ahead and cook them beforehand. Just be sure to add them to the soup towards the end so they don’t turn to mush.

What other toppings can you put on potato soup?

There are a variety of different toppings that you could put on this soup. Some shredded cheese, green onions, and bacon would be delicious.

You could also try some sour cream, diced tomatoes, or even some chopped-up ham. Really, the sky’s the limit when it comes to toppings. Just use your imagination and go crazy!

How to Make Easy Loaded Potato Soup

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash & clean potatoes thoroughly.
3. Wrap potatoes in aluminum foil sheets and poke with a fork or knife to help baking go quicker.
4. Place potatoes in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The potatoes won’t be fully cooked, but just enough to be baked for your soup.
5. While the potatoes are baking, chop the onion and combine it with chicken broth, water, heavy cream, salt, season-all salt, and garlic powder, and slap your mama seasoning into a stock pot. (This is my favorite stock pot.)
6. Cook on medium-low heat while the potatoes are baking.
7. Once the potatoes are done, carefully chop them into 1-inch cubes and add them to the soup liquid.
8. Increase heat to medium-high heat and cook for an additional 20 minutes to fully cook potatoes.
9. After cooking the baked potato soup together for 15 minutes, remove a cup of liquid and mix in cornstarch.
10. Add cornstarch and soup back into the stockpot and cook an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken the base.
