Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Step 1

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Saute onion and carrot 5 minutes or until they start to become tender. Sprinkle flour overtop veggies and stir to create a paste.

Step 2

Whisk in chicken stock and bring to boil. Soup will thicken quite a bit. Add in frozen hash browns and seasonings.

Step 3

Cook covered over medium low heat until carrots are completely tender and potatoes have thawed and become soft, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in milk, sour cream and dried chives and reduce heat to low. Cook another 2-3 minutes until soup it hot, but not boiling. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese and bacon. Serve.
