How to Make Amy's Loaded Baked Potato Soup
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the chopped onion, diced carrot, and diced celery in the butter and olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, whisk together the milk, half & half, and flour until smooth.
- Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Do not boil.
- Stir in the garlic powder and black pepper.
- Gradually add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses to the milk mixture, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the cheese sauce into the pot with the simmering chicken stock and vegetables.
- Gently stir in the cubed potatoes and bacon bits.
- Add Tabasco sauce to taste, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and adding more as desired.
- Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the fresh parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
