I love baked potato soup any time of the year, but it’s especially perfect during the winter. I keep my house kind of chilly (to save money on my electric bill), so a nice hot bowl of soup goes a long way to keeping everyone warm and cozy! I’ve always been kind of a picky eater (okay, so that’s probably an understatement), but I love potatoes in pretty much every form. This soup is hearty and robust, making it the perfect dinner recipe. Serve with a loaf of thick-sliced bread on the side. Learn how to make it, then print out the recipe card for later!

The bacon gives this baked potato soup a lot of its flavor. If you don’t eat regular bacon, you can substitute it with either turkey bacon or “facon” (vegetarian bacon, usually sold by brands like Morningstar Farms and found in the freezer section). I usually eat turkey bacon myself and honestly, it tastes just as good as the real thing to me.

Oh, and another tip: green onions are also called scallions. You probably knew that, but I didn’t! I searched all over the store for green onions before asking the produce department worker. Then when I got home, I wasn’t sure if I should use the white part, the green part, or both. Here’s what I learned: the white part is more onion-y, the green part is more chive-flavored. For this soup, I recommend using both parts, unless you’re just not a fan of chives.

  1. That’s one soup I’ve never tried to make on my own. I really should, as it does look quite easy. Plus I think we have a ton of extra potatoes!

    I love having soup especially during the colder months of the year and this one’s definitely a must try! It looks so good and I’m sure my family will like it too!

  3. ok so I work at a food manufacturing plant and a lot of times we can take home already cooked potatoes (we’re talking , 300kgs some fridays) and I’ve tried to make a potato soup but mine always tastes starchy? Not sure what I’m doing wrong (I also have access to a lot of shredded cabbage that might get tossed out too and sometimes there are bags of already chopped celerty, like 10kgs of the stuff and I tried cream of celery soup and that was totally disgusting..sigh)
