A good potato soup is creamy, flavorful, and soothes the soul. THIS potato soup recipe is all those things and is loaded with the most delicious toppings that hit the spot. I'll show you how to get the creamiest base so you can enjoy the recipe my family has been savoring for years!
I've never met a potato soup I didn't like. However, this one I love. It's a recipe that takes something that's already good but adds a twist with layers of seasoning, some savory bacon, creamy potatoes, and cheese – not to mention the standout use of everyone's guilty pleasure – tater tots!
The soup is rich, creamy, and comforting, with layers of flavors: sour cream adds the right amount of tang, green onions on top add a little freshness, and Italian herbs and chili flakes stack up the flavor. So, let's dive into it!
