If you’ve somehow made it this far in life without making Loaded Baked Potato Soup, this recipe is just for you! This creamy and flavorful cozy recipe boasts all the classic loaded baked potato ingredients you know and love. Better yet, it takes just 10 minutes to prep!

This dish starts with Whole30-compatible bacon, diced yellow onion, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried red pepper flakes for flavor. While chopped baby gold potatoes and cauliflower florets provide a tasty and satisfying base. Instead of dairy products, we use almond and coconut milk to create a creamy and rich texture that’s just as satisfying.

This Whole30 soup is easy to make and yields enough for four hearty servings. Simply crisp up the bacon, sauté the garlic and onions, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until the vegetables are soft. Then you’ll blend a portion of the soup until smooth and stir it back into the pot for a thick and creamy consistency. Serve the soup garnished with optional chopped bacon, scallion, cilantro, and black pepper, and enjoy! You can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices of Whole30 approved bacon chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion peeled & diced
  • 4 medium garlic cloves peeled & minced
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
  • 8 baby gold potatoes chopped
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets chopped
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup plain & unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup full-fat canned coconut milk

Garnish

  • Chopped bacon
  • 1 whole scallion minced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large Dutch oven pot or soup pot, add chopped bacon and bring to medium-low heat.
  • Sauté bacon until it is crispy, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel, reserving the bacon grease in the Dutch oven or soup pot.
  • Add diced onion and garlic to the Dutch oven or pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add sea salt, black pepper and dried red pepper flakes and stir well to combine.
  • Add diced baby gold potatoes, cauliflower florets, chicken stock, almond milk and canned coconut milk and stir well. Bring to a simmer until all of the veggies are very soft about 15 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and transfer about 2 cups worth of soup to a blender and blend on high until very creamy and there are no lumps (be careful blending the soup while it’s hot). Pour the blended soup into your Dutch oven and stir well until everything is thick and creamy.
  • Serve soup between 4 with chopped bacon, scallion, cilantro and black pepper, storing any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze your leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
  • Enjoy!
