• 1.25 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Gather all ingredients for the baked potato soup.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning until evenly browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble and set aside for topping.
3. Melt butter in a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour until well combined. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened into a creamy base.
4. Add diced potatoes and chopped onions to the pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
5. Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through.
6. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious baked potato soup! Garnish with extra toppings as desired.
