Hey y’all and welcome back to my channel and today we’re making loaded baked potato soup honey we got all the works in here and these are some of the ingredients that we’re going to be using make sure you check the description box and we’re going to go ahead and get started

Alright so we’re going to start off with six strips of chopped bacon i just took some bacon strips and i chopped it with my knife easy peasy all right now if you’re going to eat some of the bacon along the way you might want to do eight just in case

All right you don’t want to run out however you’re gonna cook this down until it gets nice and crispy because we want that fat we want the bacon for the toppings but we want the fat to make this roux okay so you’re gonna save some of that you

See that that oil dollar now that bacon grease we don’t need all of it we only need two tablespoons really one but two will do and to that you want to add two tablespoons of butter let that melt down into that oil so we can go ahead and saute

Our onions as well as our garlic Alright so we have that onion and that garlic cooked down a little bit till it’s nice and translucent and now we’re going to add in about a fourth cup of all-purpose flour and you want to continuously stir that in so it does not burn some of y’all already looking at my pot

Thinking that the bottom of it is burned honey this part is seasoned do y’all understand we want all of that good stuff that’s the good bacon bits all right so make sure you season that with a little bit of salt and now we’re going to add in two and a half cups of

Chicken broth along with two cups of whole milk make sure you add the milk if you would like to use half and half you could also use that as well it works perfectly all right so now we’re going to work on our seasonings and i’m adding in a teaspoon of

Ground black pepper as well as a half teaspoon of onion powder and i’m also going to add in a little bit of seasoned salt one tablespoon we’re working with a lot of potatoes all right we don’t want bland potato soup so make sure you season this very well

But the cheese also does have a lot of salt in it so we can be careful on that all right and now we want to add in our potatoes i’m using russet potatoes today i cut them in nice little size pieces about a quarter of an inch wide

Not too thick you know whatever you do you want to make sure that they’re all the same size so they have the same cook time Now for some added brightness we’re going to add in a pinch of thyme just a pinch not too much and we’re going to cook this for 15 to 20 minutes over medium heat or until the potatoes are fork tender and this is what it should look

Like after about 10 minutes you see it’s thickened up a lot you know it looks really good and this is what it should look like once it’s done and when it’s done i like to smash my potatoes just a little bit for a little bit more texture

That is totally optional if you like your potatoes whole throughout the entire soup then you can definitely leave that step out but right at the very end we want to add in our sharp shredded cheddar cheese all right and we’re going to do a cup at a time

I’m adding in two cups total and this is what’s going to give our soup that bright yellow color that we all absolutely love look at that see it turns right before your eyes and this is the finished product look at that look at this baby here and we’re gonna dress it up

You know it can’t be loaded baked potato soup if we don’t have all of the toppings so i’m gonna add some more shredded cheese this is a try cheddar cheese that i’m using here and then i’m also going to add some bacon bits remember those bacon bits we cook we

Gotta add it as well as some green onions we want that give us that twain and i fried up some uh what is this potato skins that’s it i saved some of the skins and um put them in my airfryer with a little olive oil and salt

Topped it off with a little parsley and honey we are good to go do y’all hear me this was some of the best soup that i have had and made in a long time and i’m gonna be making more soups because it’s getting so cold out here in alabama
