ALMOST-FAMOUS BAKED POTATO SOUP



Almost-Famous Baked Potato Soup image

For a place with a carb-forward name, Panera Bread sells a lot of soup: nearly 250 million cups per year. Broccoli Cheddar has been the chain's perennial best seller, and the creamy Baked Potato Soup has never been far behind. The company has taken the potato soup off most menus permanently, and although we're not sure why it disappeared, we have a fix: Our test kitchen chefs created this version you can make at home.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 onion, finely chopped
2 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces
1 cup half-and-half
2 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
Shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives, for topping

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, scallion whites and a big pinch of salt to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the flour, celery seeds and white pepper; stir until combined.
  • Add the potatoes, 3 1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and transfer 1/2 cup of the potatoes to a blender. Add the half-and-half, cream cheese and parmesan and blend until very smooth. Gently stir the mixture into the pot along with the scallion greens, hot sauce and half of the bacon. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat; season with salt.
  • Divide the soup among bowls. Top with cheddar cheese, the remaining bacon and chives.

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).

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).

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.

KITTENCAL'S BAKED POTATO SOUP



Kittencal's Baked Potato Soup image

If you prefer an extra creamy soup use 5 cups half and half cream, adjust the chili flakes to suit heat level or you may omit, make certain to oven-bake the potatoes not boil it will make a difference in flavor, prep time does not include baking the potatoes, this soup is best if used the same day, it does not reheat well --- *note* for a lower fat option omit or reduce the bacon amount, use low-fat milk, sour cream and cheddar cheese :)
