There’s nothing like a bowl of hot soup with a side of french bread to warm you up on a cold day. This is an all time favorite soup of mine. Typically “creamy” soups are loaded with cream and calories, and while this might not be low-fat, it’s made with chicken stock which definitely helps in the calorie department. And it’s delicious and satisfying!

This is the perfect soup to add toppings to. I personally love grated cheddar cheese, a few sliced green onions, and a dollap of sour cream. My husband would be dousing his with plenty of Tabasco.  And, you can choose to keep it chunky, or do as I did, and use an immersion blender to blend it into a creamier consistency.

Creamy Baked Potato Soup

Course Soup
Prep Time 1 hour hour
Cook Time 2 hours hours
Total Time 3 hours hours
Author Joy in Every Season

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 8 cups chicken stock homemade or canned
  • 1 cup instant mashed potato flakes
  • 1 1/2 tsp all purpose seasoning I used Mrs. Dash
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 6 large baked potatoes baked, peeled, & cubed
  • 1 cup 1/2 & 1/2

Instructions

  • Saute onions in butter. Do not brown.
  • Add flour and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Combine rest of ingredients except potatoes and 1/2 & 1/2. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add potatoes and continue to simmer for 1 hour (or until potatoes are fall apart tender).
  • At this point, I used my submersion blender to blend some of the potato chunks for a smoother soup. You may also use a potato masher or leave it chunky.
  • Right before serving stir in 1/2 & 1/2.
  • Suggested toppings: grated cheddar cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, chopped green onions, tabasco

    For me there isn’t anything much better than soup, and especially a creamy soup. Looks and sounds amazing.
