Baked Potato Soup

This was delicious! I combined this recipe with another potato soup recipe I found here on Whisk, and it worked out well. The family loved it!

I overestimated the size of my potatoes.. Very tasty recipe.. and mine turned out tasty too.

😍 it's just as good as I thought it would be

I salted my potatoes with smoked sea salt when boiling them, then went with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream．I also put a whole 32oz container of chicken broth in．It was the perfect consistency with an immersion blender．I feel like there are unlimited substitutions between the broth, the sour cream, half and half and the different cheeses to make a lighter or slightly different tasting version．I also didnt have bacon so I just fried some bacon bits (the real bacon kind) in a tablespoon or two of butter and just left them in the onion pan the whole time．still tasted super smoky and delicious．

It was really good, it's a family favorite, especially in bread bowls.

Personally, it took me alot longer than 45 minutes total.... but that's probably just me not being super skilled in the kitchen. It is delicious and pretty simple. If you think 3 cloves of garlic isn't enough, I can assure you that 5 is too much! Maybe more salt/pepper to taste. And I think it'd be better if the potatoes were left in chunks instead of mashed.

The taste was excellent, but the consistency wasn't that of soup. I can't quite put my finger on it, though.
