The soup is creamy and filled with cheese. You will want to serve this soup up with some freshly grated cheese, crisp bacon, and some sliced scallions to make it even more like a loaded baked potato.

“Me”: OK, really? I thought I was the grumpy one, but you bested me.
This looks so scrumptious, but I can bring myself to eat neither Velveeta nor dehydrated cheese mix. Needless to say, I won’t be eating this soup at O’Charley’s again! I’ll miss it!
Stephanie
I am sorry you won’t be able to enjoy this soup anymore. It’s good soup.
Brittany
I tried to make this recipe once a while back because I love ocharlys. I used a LG Dutch oven but burnt the cheese. A slow cooker is how I normally make all my soups.. how can I do this recipe in the slow cooker?
Samantha
I made this dish and it turned out amazing. If I had thought about it I would have taken a picture. I boiled the potatoes in low sodium chicken broth. The family loved it. It made a lot and I freezed the rest and I hope it holds up.
