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.)

BEST CHEESY POTATO SOUP EVER!



Best Cheesy Potato Soup Ever! image

I had a difficult time getting this recipe. I got this recipe from my great aunt. I have it memorized so I would never forget it. This is a one of a kind recipe and so delicious. One bowl of this soup will fill you up!

Provided by cori 3

Categories     Potato

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup chopped onion
4 cups diced peeled potatoes
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 dash paprika (optional)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat. Sauté celery and onions together.
  • Add potatoes and chicken broth.
  • Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
  • In batches, puree potatoes in blender and return to sauce pan. (I usually don't use a blender, I just use a fork).
  • Stir in milk and seasonings.
  • Add the cheese and heat only until melted. garnish with paprika, croutons, and parsley.

Tips:

  • Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato soup because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a thick and creamy soup.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and the soup will be less flavorful. Cook the potatoes until they are just tender, but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the soup. You can add any vegetables you like, but some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for potato soup include shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives.

Conclusion:

Potato soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying potato soup that the whole family will love.
