Receta SRC Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Secret Recipe Club Group D Reveal Day~
Name of Recipe: Loaded Baked Potato Soup~
Recipe from: Mom's Test Kitchen
Welcome Back to Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day, Group D. This month I had the pleasure of being assigned Mom's Test Kitchen. Jaime had several recipes I wanted to try but I finally narrowed it down to 3. Honey Sesame Pulled Pork Tacos, Easy Vegetable Pot Pie or Loaded Potato Soup. Since we are still experiencing winter here in Northern WI, I went with the soup. This soup was easy to make using Ore-Ida Shredded Hash Browns and it made 4 servings, perfect for my hubby and me:) We enjoyed the flavor of this comforting soup and I also enjoyed the ease of making it on another snowy afternoon in March~ Thanks for A great recipe Jaime:)
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Serves 4
- 2 T butter
- 1 cup frozen chopped onion and green pepper mix
- 1/2 lb. bacon, cooked until crisp
- 1 bag (30 oz) frozen Ore-Ida Shredded Hash Browns

- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups milk
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Heat the 2 T butter in a 2 quart Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and pepper mix until tender. Crumble the bacon into the onion mixture and stir in the potatoes. Pour in enough water to cover mixture.
Simmer the bacon and potato mixture over low heat until potatoes are tender and flavors have blended. About 2 hours.
Combine the flour and remaining 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until mixture is smooth and lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Whisk the milk into the flour-butter mixture until thickened. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Stir flour butter mixture into soup until well combines.
