If you are like me, you are always on the look-out for simple weeknight recipes.
Bonus for easy.
Bonus for meatless.
Bonus for warm and cozy for a freezing December night.
This baked potato soup gets full points. I originally found the recipe via Remodelaholic and it was so yummy I had to share. I especially love that is a cheesier version than I’m used to. Plus it doesn’t require cooking bacon, which is good for those with a bacon aversion.
Easy baked potato soup
via Remodelaholic
2 large baking potatoes (or 4 medium to small)
Bake potatoes in the oven or microwave until they are soft when you pierce them with another fork. Scrape out the insides and place in a bowl. Reserve until called for!
In a large saucepan, over medium heat saute green onions and butter.
While the green onions are cooking, in a separate bowl combine flour, dill, salt and pepper.
When the onions have sauteed and are nice and soft, add the flour mixture and stir until combined. Then, while whisking add milk.
Continue stirring until it is thickened and bubbling. Continue to cook one more minute (keep stirring to avoid scalding). Then add cheddar cheese, sour cream and reserved baked potato insides from above.
Allow cheese to melt. Serve hot. Garnish with shredded cheddar, chopped green onions and sour cream.
I’m totally getting bread bowls at Panera to eat the leftovers tomorrow. Yummy!
Do you have a favorite soup recipe?
Perfect for a chilly night. I love potatoes! Printing this NOW!
Looks yummy! I hadn’t thought of getting bread bowls for leftovers, but it’s the perfect way to put a new spin on something you ate yesterday!
Yum. This sounds so good. Plus I think I eat soup everyday in the winter.
Kim, I love soup; I just did a post on soup as well.

That looks delish! I love baked potato soup! I’m going to give this a try—tomorrow for lunch!
Thanks for sharing!
Yum! Soup is favorite thing about winter. I think this will be making an appearance at my house this weekend.
YUM!! Love the idea of using the breadbowl too. 🙂
Oh holy mother of all that is good…. I’m so making THIS tomorrow. Wait I work so dinner is on hubs, submitting my request now :o).
Yum! I love baked potato soup. I wonder if you could crock pot this.
Mmmmm. I love potato soups. My favorite is O’Charlie’s Baked Potato Soup.

But I’ll have to try this one!
ok, you reading my mind!! I’ve been looking for a bake potato soup recipe! I wonder if I can transform this into a slow cooker version and I’ll be adding in bacon, yum
That looks so good! I will be trying this next week for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Mmmmmm, I LOVE baked potato soup! I made some a few weeks ago, then made it again the very next night because it was so good I needed it twice 🙂 This recipe looks wonderful!
YUM. Sounds delicious. But I’d totally add bacon, because I’m that kind of girl. : ) I’ve fallen in love with the Barefoot Contessa’s roasted winter vegetable soup. So delicious and meat-free, too!
Mmm, baked potato soup. I need to add that to my menu for the week!
Mmmm… that looks tasty! Our favorite lately is Ribollita Soup – so warm and yummy and nutritious! We’ve been using a recipe from The Gossett Girl. You can find it here: http://www.gossettgirl.com/2011/10/souper-sunday-ribollita.html
Mmmmm…. I’ve had a recent obsession with baked potato soups recently so it’ll be great to try to make my own.
I’ll have to add the bacon bits in, but this sounds yummy and easy! Thanks, Kim!!
Ooooooo, that sounds SO good. I’m gonna work on a dairy-free version. Thanks, Kim!
