There are few foods I like more than a nice, creamy soup. But is it possible to make one without lots of milk, cream, and butter? You betcha! I absolutely love baked potato soup. Forrest requested it yesterday, and when I went to search for my favorite, go-to recipe…I couldn’t find it! So I had to improvise. And I think I now have a new favorite recipe. This recipe can be adapted to be dairy free if needed, and I promise — it doesn’t lose any of it’s delicious taste!

This soup was creamy and warm, with just the perfect amount of chunks of potato in it. I used almond and coconut milk in it — and to be honest, I was kind of worried about how that would affect the taste. But, I’m happy to report it only made the soup more creamy. Of course, feel free to use regular milk if you want! I usually would just bacon bits that I bought from Costco, but I decided to fry up some real bacon, and I think it made all the difference. This was also Jack approved, which lately means a lot — he seems to hate anything that has any vegetables in it!
