Sautéing Aromatics for Loaded Baked Potato Soup

First, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add your chopped yellow onion. Cook it until it’s nice and soft, about five minutes. Then, toss in the minced garlic. Cook for just one minute more until it smells amazing. This is where the flavor really starts!

Building the Creamy Base of Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Now, pour in the chicken broth. Add your diced cooked potatoes. Bring this mixture to a boil. Then, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes. This lets the potato flavor really come through. For an even creamier soup, try mashing some of the potatoes against the side of the pot. This little trick makes a big difference! Next, stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese is all melted and the soup is heated through. Please remember not to let it boil after adding the milk and cheese. We want smooth, not separated!
