Baked Potato

Our loaded baked potato soup delivers creamy, velvety comfort with a bold kick. Unlike traditional versions that lean heavily on cheese and cream, we've added zesty horseradish to create a subtle heat that awakens your taste buds without overwhelming them.

The bacon brings smoky depth, while fresh chives add a bright, oniony finish. The base is rich and smooth, with tender chunks of potato that give every spoonful satisfying texture.

A Balance of Creamy and Bold

We balance richness with brightness. The creaminess coats your palate, while the horseradish provides just enough sharpness to keep things interesting. It's not just about filling you up, it's about creating a moment you want to savor.

Comfort That Fits Your Life

We designed this soup for people who crave home-cooked flavor but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. Whether you heat it up for a quick lunch or serve it as the centerpiece of a cozy dinner, our loaded baked potato soup brings warmth and satisfaction without the work.

Our Baked Potato Soup starts where every great soup should, with a proper foundation. Wisconsin potatoes slow-simmered with onions, garlic, celery, and chicken stock, blended into a velvety base that's rich enough to carry everything that comes next.

And what comes next is the best part. Applewood smoked bacon for savory depth. Fresh chives for brightness. Sour cream for tang. A touch of horseradish for an unexpected kick that keeps every spoonful interesting. Butter and heavy cream tie it all together into something unapologetically comforting.

Full Ingredient List: Chicken Stock, Wisconsin Potatoes, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Sour Cream, Heavy Cream, Butter, Onions, Celery, Garlic, Fresh Chives, Horseradish, Worcestershire Sauce, Hot Sauce, Spices & Natural Flavors. Every ingredient earns its place. Every spoonful proves it.

Most potato soups are an afterthought. Ours is a deliberate act of comfort.

It Starts With a Proper Stock

We build our base with chicken stock, cooked chicken, sea salt, and a carefully blended array of aromatics that creates a savory, well-rounded foundation before a single potato hits the pot. A weak stock produces a flat soup that no amount of cream or seasoning can fully rescue. Ours doesn't need rescuing.

The Potatoes Do the Work

Wisconsin potatoes go in next, slow-simmered with onions, celery, and garlic until everything softens and the natural starch begins to thicken the broth from the inside out. No heavy thickeners. No shortcuts. Just potatoes doing what potatoes do best when you give them enough time and heat.

Then Comes the Cream

Butter, heavy cream, and sour cream are folded in gradually, building the rich, velvety body that makes this soup feel indulgent without ever feeling heavy. The sour cream adds a subtle tang that cuts through the richness, keeping the flavor balanced rather than one-dimensional.

The Finishing Touches Make It Loaded

Applewood smoked bacon for smoky depth. Fresh chives for brightness. A measured hit of horseradish that adds just enough sharpness to make every spoonful feel intentional. A dash of Worcestershire and hot sauce to sharpen and deepen every layer underneath.

Our soup already comes with bacon and chives, but you can customize it further with sharp cheddar, sour cream, or extra green onions. The beauty of loaded baked potato soup is that it welcomes toppings without losing its base flavor.

Cheese Adds Gooeyness

Shredded sharp cheddar melts beautifully into hot soup, creating strings of cheese that cling to your spoon. For a smokier flavor, try smoked Gouda or aged white cheddar.

Sour Cream Cools The Horseradish Kick

A dollop of cold sour cream balances the horseradish heat and adds tang. Let it melt slowly into the soup as you eat for a creamier, milder finish.

Croutons or Crackers Give Crunch

For textural contrast, add buttery croutons or oyster crackers. They soak up the creamy broth and provide a satisfying crunch alongside the soft potatoes.

Reheat loaded baked potato soup gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent separation. Adding a splash of milk or cream as it warms helps restore the original consistency.

Stovetop Heating Prevents Graininess

Pour your soup into a pot and warm it slowly over medium-low heat. Stir every minute or two to redistribute the dairy and prevent the bottom from scorching. If it looks too thick, thin it with a bit of whole milk.

Microwave Works In A Pinch

Transfer soup to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round. This prevents hot spots that can cause dairy to curdle or the texture to turn grainy.

Always Thaw First

Reheat from thawed, not frozen. A slow overnight thaw in the refrigerator keeps the emulsion intact and gives you a smoother, more consistent bowl from the very first stir.

If It Separates

Remove from heat immediately and whisk vigorously. A small knob of butter or a splash of warm cream whisked in can bring it back together.
