Everyone who has tried this soup loves it. It is a good soup for veggie haters. Baking the potatoes first gives them the perfect texture for this thick creamy soup. You won't be disappointed. I always serve this with crackers and top the soup with a bit more shredded Cheddar, crumbled bacon, and a dollop of sour cream.

Provided by Guy Fieri

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.

BAKED POTATO SOUP



Baked Potato Soup image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large baking potatoes
6 bacon slices, plus crumbled cooked bacon, for serving
2/3 cup (11 tablespoons) butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
8 cups milk
5 ounces Cheddar, shredded, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 green onions (scallions), finely chopped, plus more for serving
8 ounces sour cream, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wash the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Wrap them individually in foil and bake until they are soft when squeezed, about 1 hour (see Cook's Note). Let the potatoes cool slightly.
  • While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon in a small skillet, in a microwave or on an indoor grill until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels and, when cool enough to handle, crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into the thickened milk mixture. Add the Cheddar, salt, pepper, green onions and reserved bacon. Cook over low heat just until heated through, then stir in the sour cream. Garnish with shredded Cheddar, crumbled bacon and chopped green onions and serve with more sour cream on the side.

BAKED POTATO SOUP



Baked Potato Soup image

If we're being honest, a baked potato isn't really about the potato. It's about the toppings: plush sour cream, butter, cheese, salty bacon, bright scallions. This soup version doesn't skimp on those extras: The potatoes simmer in milk with garlic and scallions until just tender, then they join sour cream and Cheddar in the pot before the toppings - including potato skins - are added. It's potatoey, creamy and adaptable. Make it smooth or textured, skip the bacon and serve it with a side salad (though it's plenty hearty all on its own).

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 slices bacon, or 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced separately
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, large skins reserved
6 cups whole milk
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
3/4 cup freshly grated Cheddar (about 3 ounces), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the bacon (if using) until crisp, 12 to 13 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate or cutting board. Return the pot with just 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat to the stove. (If there's not enough fat, supplement with butter to total 3 tablespoons.) If making the soup vegetarian, melt butter in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Over medium-low heat, sauté the white parts of the scallions and the garlic until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning the garlic. Add the potatoes, milk and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (resist the urge to heat it faster as this can lead to curdling). Once at a boil, lower the heat and simmer covered until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • As soup simmers, prepare the potato skins: Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Working in batches if needed, add the potato peels in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until crisp and golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or cutting board, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, cayenne and garlic powder. Crumble and set aside.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, take the pot off the heat, and purée the mixture with an immersion blender if you'd like a smooth soup. (Mash with a potato masher if you'd like a chunkier soup.) Stir in the sour cream and cheese until combined, then season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with crumbled bacon, more sour cream and Cheddar and the green parts of the scallions. Top with potato peels (eat any extra as chips, dipped in ketchup and mustard).

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: For a creamy and flavorful soup, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. They break down easily during cooking, creating a smooth texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Potatoes: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. Overcooking can make them mushy and less flavorful.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure to use a good quality one. You can use chicken, vegetable, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Add Veggies for Extra Flavor: Don't limit yourself to just potatoes. Add other vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions for extra flavor and texture.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add salt, pepper, garlic, and other herbs and spices to create a soup that's just right for you.
  • Top It Off: Before serving, garnish the soup with some chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or shredded cheese for extra richness.

Conclusion:

Homestyle baked potato soup is a classic comfort food that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make, hearty, and flavorful, and it can be customized to your liking.
