Report
This Creamy Potato Soup Recipe combines tender cooked potatoes with caramelized onions in a smooth, seasoned broth.

Topped with cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits, and diced green onion, the soup delivers a comforting, mild hearty flavor.
Description
Creamy Potato Soup combines diced cooked potatoes with sautéed diced onions caramelized in butter, then thickened with flour to create a roux base. Milk and hot water are gradually added along with chicken bouillon to build a simmering broth. The soup cooks until creamy and smooth, incorporating the potatoes to produce a rich and filling texture.
The addition of toppings like shredded cheddar cheese, bacon crisps, and diced green onions adds sharp, smoky, and fresh flavor contrasts to the velvety soup. This recipe serves as a warming starter or main dish on cooler days.
