Loaded Potato Soup

[TNJAKE]

Looks great Jake! It's about time that I make another pot. I pretty much do this the same. Except I add a pack of lil smokies and hot sauce.

Thanks steve. I hit mine with hot sauce from time to time. Lil smokies sounds interesting

We make ours in a pot on a induction plate so the temp stays really steady and not burn, diced city ham smoked for a little while adds another layer of flavor, hard to stop with 1 bowl lol , not sure I have enuf will power to wait on the crock pot .

We've added ham before and was tasty. This recipe can definitely be adapted for the stove top

@TNJAKE Looks excellent! I'll just pop a extra cholesterol pill the day we make this. I'm bookmarking it.

Awesome looking soup Jake! I don't make too many cream based soups but I sure could put a bowl or three away!

Dang that looks good! And its cold this morning....would really hit the spot. Ivy makes one in the crockpot very close to this. Unfortunately she has been staying away from carbs so I doubt she'll be making any soon.

Thanks Joe. @GaryHibbert says the unsalted butter cancels out the unhealthiness of the heavy cream. Give it a try lol

Definitely soup and chili seasons for the next 6 months or so.
You made a home run.
Wife made tater and leek soup last week.
I made a batch of chili that is not her liking, so I get it all. Yum

Looks good Jake! I book marked it as well to do soon!

Edit: Do you add bacon into the soup or just top it with after you make a bowl?

Thanks John. I just crumble it over top of my bowl. Mix it in then hit it with more lol. If you add it while cooking the bacon will get soft

Wife adapted recipe from Once Upon a Chef
She used my home made chicken stock in place of store bought.
She doesn't puree to leave more texture. Mashed a few of the taters and added about 1 Tbl of potato starch to give it the consistency of pureed.
