Best potato soup recipe ever! The fire demons did try to eat it first but I saved it.
So glad you liked it!
Thought this was great! One thing that worried me was that there were no instructions on when to put the garlic, pepper or salt so I ended up putting them in when it was simmering (I’m new to cooking lol). Does anyone know when the right time to put them in is for my next attempt?
Hey! It says “add seasoning” which includes those items 🙂
Phenomenal, new fav! I’m in New Zealand and we don’t have half and half here so used regular milk. Super creamy and decadent still.
Do we add the butter to the bacon grease?
Yep!
So it says “add potatoes” and “mash potatoes” in the same step… Do I boil/cook them ahead of time?
Hello! You add the ingredients specified in the step, including the potatoes, and then when they’re all together you have to mash up the potatoes so they mix with the other ingredients. You’ll be mashing them essentially raw but you can wait a little bit for them to soften if that’s too difficult.
Okay thank you. Mashing raw potatoes isn’t exactly easy so I was just wondering. Thank you for letting be me know. I’ve never made or had potato soup from scratch and my hubby has only had it from a can so I just wanted to make sure I was making it with right… TYSM! 🖤

I just finished making this for dinner tonight, and I just wanted to say that this is the best baked potato soup I’ve ever had. I followed this recipe up to the smoke flavoring at the end and the smoke flavored cheese (only because my husband isn’t a fan of the smoke flavor, so I left it out for his sake), but even without it, this soup is absolutely amazing, and is officially going to become a staple during the winter months. Thank you so much for this!!
We are so happy you like the recipe! Thank you for your kind comment 🙂
