POTATO SOUP WITH CREAM CHEESE



Potato Soup with Cream Cheese image

This is a family favorite throughout the fall and winter! It's easy to prep and great for a lazy day, filling the house with aroma. Have extended family and guests? Simply double the quantity of each item. It's that easy! I derived the potato soup with cream cheese base compliments of Panera Bread®. I added a few extras over time to appeal to the whole family. This a well balanced, full-flavored soup, with a hint of trailing heat compliments of cayenne. If you have picky "little" ones you can substitute red pepper flakes as a side garnishment. Serve with sharp shredded cheese and a loaf a fresh beer bread!

We usually like food that is super flavored and spicy, but this is delicious, simple comfort food. No crazy spices or herbs, but yummy! I'm pretty sure that between just my BF and I, we ate almost the entire pot in one sitting. It really is that good. Hope you agree! (As a helpful note, I once heard on the Food Network, that you should never cook with a wine that you are not wiling to drink.)

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large onion, chopped
4 teaspoons cooking oil
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups asparagus spears, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups milk
2 cups chicken broth
8 ounces red potatoes, cubed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; reduce heat.
  • Simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add cheddar and sour cream; stir until cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • For a creamier soup, use a combination of cheddar and Gruyère cheeses.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over low heat until it's warmed through.
  • To freeze the soup, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Transfer the soup to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours. Then, reheat the soup over low heat until it's warmed through.
  • For a vegetarian version of the soup, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To make the soup gluten-free, use gluten-free bread or crackers for the croutons.
