Baked Potato Soup
4 large potatoes, scrubbed Bake potatoes until fork tender Cut potatoes in half and scoop out (flake potatoes)--Chop 1/2 of the peels in small pieces (discard other half of peels)
In heavy kettle
Melt 2/3 cup butter
Add 2/3 cup flour (whisk together)
Add 1 and 1/2 quarts milk Stir constantly till thickened
salt and pepper to taste
Add potato and skins
Add 4 green onions -chopped (I use about 1/4 cup instant minced onion)
1 cup sour cream
1 and 1/2 cup crisp-cooked, crumbled bacon
5 oz. finely grated cheddar cheese (heat through) do not let it boil
Mix all over low heat until cheese melts

(When I do this at home, I sprinkle the bacon and the cheese on top of the hot soup--for group it will work better to have it all in the soup like the recipe says to do, I just like the bacon to stay really crisp.)

Use any one of the wonderful recipes and serve with corn bread or corn muffins.. I always add some instant mashed potato flakes to mine while it's cooking.

RE: Looking for a Potato Soup Recipe

I have made the following recipe I found at allrecipes.com, several times and we love it. Delicious Ham and Potato Soup Prep Time: 20 Minutes, Cook Time: 25 Minutes Ready In: 45 Minutes, Yields: 8 servings

INGREDIENTS: 3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes, 1/3 cup diced celery, 1/3 cup finely chopped onion, 3/4 cup diced cooked ham, 3 1/4 cups water, 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules, 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste, 1 teaspoon ground white or black pepper, or to taste, 5 tablespoons butter, 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 cups milk

DIRECTIONS: 1. Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper. 2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. 3. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately. Note: I probably use more closer to 4 cups of potatoes and I cook it longer. (11/14/2007)

RE: Looking for a Potato Soup Recipe

Ultimate Potato Soup

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but everyone I serve it to says its the "best ever" (even those who didn't think they liked potato soup!).

Ingredients: 1 lb bacon, 2 stalks celery, diced, 1 onion, chopped, 3 cloves garlic, minced, 8 large potatoes, peeled and cubed, 4 cups chicken stock or bouillon (enough to cover potatoes), 3 tbl butter, 1/4 C flour, 1 C heavy cream (or half & half or whole milk), 1 tsp dried tarragon, 1 tbl chopped fresh cilantro, salt and pepper to taste

In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over med heat until done. Remove bacon and set aside, drain off all but 1/4 c of the bacon grease. In the 1/4 c of grease, sauté the celery and onion until onion turns clear. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 2 mins. Add cubed potatoes and toss to coat, sauté for 4 mins, Return the bacon to the pan and add enough chicken stock to just cover potatoes. Cover, simmer until potatoes are tender but not mushy.

In a separate pan, melt butter over med heat. Whisk in the flour, cook, stirring constantly for 2 mins. Whisk in the heavy cream, tarragon and cilantro. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Puree about 1//2 the soup, and return to the pan and mix well. Adjust seasonings to taste. I hope your family enjoys this as much as ours! Tamak (11/14/2007)

This is THE BEST soup I've ever had...

And absolutely nothing healthy about it and you probably can feel your arteries clogging just when you read the recipe, but we all must indulge every once in a while, right?

1 stick butter, 1 med onion - minced, 1 cup grated carrot, 1/2 cup of chopped celery

Saute these together until tender. I usually just chop the onions and carrots. Add: 4 cans cream of potato soup, 1 lb grated Velveeta cheese (if I buy the block I just slice it up), 8 oz sour cream, 4 cups milk, salt and pepper to taste. I usually put this in a big crock pot and just slow cook it all day.

p.s. There are a lot of ways to make this healthier....reduced fat soups, sour cream, don't use as much butter/margarine, fat free milk, etc. I just wrote the recipe as I have it. And sometimes, I throw in some broccoli and/or cauliflower if I have it, or some ham and bacon, whatever you feel like pretty much will work in here! (11/14/2007)

RE: Looking for a Potato Soup Recipe

This is for instant potato soup mix but it is really good. 2 1/2 c. instant potatoes, 1 1/4 c. powered coffee creamer, 1 package chicken gravy mix, 2 teaspoons dry onion powder, 2 teaspoons chicken granules. Put in a air tight container that will hold 4 cups and shake to mix. To serve use 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup mix, stir well and let set 3 minutes. Other spices can be added for your taste.
