Step 8: Garnish and Serve
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each serving with the crispy bacon, extra shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of green onions or chives. If you really want to go all out, add a dollop of sour cream on top—just like you would on a loaded baked potato.
Why This Soup Is Special
- All-in-one meal: Hearty potatoes, cheese, and bacon make it filling enough to serve as dinner.
- Customizable: Swap bacon for turkey bacon or omit it for a vegetarian version. Use different cheeses, like smoked gouda or pepper jack, for a flavor twist.
- Comfort food at its finest: Creamy, cheesy, and loaded with toppings—it’s basically comfort in a bowl.
Serving Suggestions
Pair this soup with:
- A side of crusty bread for dipping.
- A crisp green salad for freshness.
- Or serve in bread bowls for an extra treat.
