Loaded Baked Potato Soup is American home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre and the soup. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 3 lb russet potatoes
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 4 green onions
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Peel and dice the potatoes and simmer in the vegetable broth until very tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile melt the butter in a separate pot, soften the garlic, then whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute.
- Whisk in the milk and simmer until thickened, about 4 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and their broth, mash some of them to thicken the soup, and stir to combine.
- Off the heat stir in most of the cheddar and the sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
- Ladle into bowls and top with the remaining cheddar and sliced green onions.
