Loaded baked potato soup is a comforting and hearty dish that can be made in an air fryer. Start by baking the potatoes in the air fryer at 400°F for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender. Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before peeling and mashing them. In a large pot, cook bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside. In the same pot, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until softened. Add the mashed potatoes, chicken broth, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the soup is heated through. Serve this loaded baked potato soup with a sprinkle of bacon bits, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions on top.
