    Loaded Baked Potato is the ultimate comfort food, especially in the colder months. Since January is National Soup Month I wanted to share a recipe my husband has modified over the years to what I think is perfection.

    Loaded baked potato soup recipe

    I have always loved any kind of potato soup. It’s versatile, you can add many different kinds of ingredients and potato soup can pretty much handle whatever you throw at it. Chives, leeks, bacon, cheese – it always tastes amazing.

    When I started having all of my health issues I began to have intolerances to a lot of my favorite comfort foods. Unfortunately, potato soup was one of them.

    Our Quest For The Perfect Loaded Baked Potato Soup

    My husband was determined to figure out what was causing me food issues and wanted to make sure when I was feeling my worst I could still take solace in my favorite comfort foods.

    After loads of research we notice a pattern – most potato soups use flour as a thickener. After experimenting we found the perfect replacement. Chicken broth. It adds a whole new layer of flavor!

    Just like that I could eat my favorite soup again and my kids liked it even more than our old recipe. It has become a winter staple in our house that the kids request frequently.

    If you are looking for savory, hearty, creamy soup for these cold winter days our Loaded Baked Potato Soup will hit the spot. Add your favorite bread or crackers and it’s the ultimate comfort food. It’s easily made on the stovetop or you could even throw it in the slow cooker on busy days.
