Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large baking potatoes (Idaho or russet)
12 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups 2 percent low-fat milk, heated
5 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces sour cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a roasting tray and bake for 45 minutes. When done, the tip of a paring knife should go through the potatoes easily.
  • Slice the bacon into lardons (thin strips) and cook in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  • Add the flour to the drippings in the pot and stir to combine. Cook, without adding color, until the flour and fat has combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk while you whisk to incorporate. Cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
  • Scoop out the potato pulp from the skins and add to the milk mixture. Mash with the back of a wooden spoon leaving it a little bit chunky.
  • Add the cooked bacon (leaving a little out for garnishing the soup), 1 cup of the cheese, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted. Remove from the heat.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with sour cream (from a squeeze bottle), sprinkle with remaining bacon bits, grated cheese and chives.

Time 6h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken stock

1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package thick cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

4 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP



Absolutely Ultimate Potato Soup image

I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound bacon, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken stock, or enough to cover potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
3 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Remove bacon from pan, and set aside. Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon grease.
  • Cook celery and onion in reserved bacon drippings until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Return bacon to the pan, and add enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes. Cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender.
  • In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream, tarragon, and cilantro. Bring the cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Puree about 1/2 the soup, and return to the pan. Adjust seasonings to taste.

COPYCAT LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE LOADED POTATO SOUP



Copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Loaded Potato Soup image

Categories     Copycat

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups mik
16 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (mild)
1/2 cup instant pot flakes
2 large russet potatoes, diced and peeled
Salt
Pepper
Bacon Bits
Extra Cheddar
Green Onions, diced

Steps:

  • 1. Over medium-high heat, melt butter in a 3 quart sauce pan. 2. Stir in flour and cook until flour has blended with butter. 3. Add chicken broth and stir constantly until mixture starts to thicken. 4. Add in milk and heat until it starts to simmer, stirring the whole time. 5. Stir in shredded cheese until smooth. 6. Add in potato flakes. 7. Add in LOTS of salt and pepper to taste - it really depends on taste, but I used 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper. Start with a little and go up as you need! 8. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, or pour in batches into a blender. 9. At this point, bring your soup to a light boil and add in your diced potatoes. 10. Stir constantly but allow potatoes to cook until they are al dente. You want to make sure you keep stirring so the soup doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. 11. Alternatively, you can boil the diced potatoes in a separate pot until al dente and add to soup right before serving. 12. Serve soup immediately with cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this soup, as they hold their shape well and create a creamy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many potatoes to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Add them in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the potatoes until they're tender: The potatoes should be fork-tender before you add the other ingredients.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a sharp cheddar or a combination of cheeses for a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Once the soup is heated through, remove it from the heat. Overcooking can make the soup thick and gummy.

Conclusion:

Allen's Loaded Potato Soup is a hearty and satisfying soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, smoky bacon, and melted cheese, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
