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!

PANERA'S CREAM CHEESE POTATO SOUP



Panera's Cream Cheese Potato Soup image

This is my favorite recipe for potato soup. It's a copycat of the one they use to serve at the St. Louis Bread Company (Panera). The recipe originally called for shredding your potatoes, but I never could get them to cook that way. I know they should cook faster, but I never could get it to work.

1 pound frozen Tater Tots
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 12 ounces)

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced

CREAMY, CHEESY POTATO SOUP



Creamy, Cheesy Potato Soup image

Fast, easy, creamy, and cheesy! A great weeknight meal when you want something that will stick to your ribs but don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I found this recipe in my mom's recipe collection after she passed away and we love it! The recipe is very forgiving if you need to sub ingredients based on what you have on hand. Don't have broth? Use the potato cooking liquid with a tsp of chicken bouillon mixed in. No heavy cream? No worries, use all milk. I make a lot of soup when the weather turns cold and you know what they say about Wisconsin.... we have 2 seasons, Winter and Road Construction... we eat a lot of soup- LOL :)

1 small onion, diced fine (or 2 tsp granulated onion)
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
salt & pepper (to taste)
2 cups milk

  • Slowly add the 1 cup of broth stirring as you pour it into the roux. Stir until smooth.
  • Start adding the milk and cream and stir until smooth.
  • Bring the mixture up to a low simmer stirring constantly. Simmer 2-3 minutes.

CREAMY CHEESY POTATOES



Creamy Cheesy Potatoes image

Comfort food at it's best! I don't usually measure when I make this dish, so the ingredients are approximations. You may need more or less of an ingredient to suit your tastes. If you want a cheesy dish, use the cheddar cheese soup, otherwise use the cream of mushroom to use as a creamy base.

Tips:

  • For a creamy soup, use a high-quality russet potato. These potatoes have a high starch content, which will help to thicken the soup.
  • To make the soup extra cheesy, use a combination of sharp cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream on hand, you can use milk instead. However, the soup will be slightly thinner.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cut potatoes from the grocery store.
  • If you like your soup with a bit of a kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or black pepper.
  • Garnish the soup with chopped chives, parsley, or bacon bits before serving.

Conclusion:

This cheesy cream of potato soup is the perfect comfort food for a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try!
