POTATO SOUP



Potato Soup image

One of my go-to soup recipes and a reader favorite! It's such a creamy, hearty, comforting soup. While the toppings (cheddar, bacon, and green onions) are optional I highly recommend them for that loaded baked potato style flavor!

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.)

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound bacon, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken stock, or enough to cover potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
3 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Remove bacon from pan, and set aside. Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon grease.
  • Cook celery and onion in reserved bacon drippings until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Return bacon to the pan, and add enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes. Cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender.

Bring the cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Puree about 1/2 the soup, and return to the pan. Adjust seasonings to taste.

HOMEMADE CREAM OF POTATO SOUP image

This is a real favorite in my house! It is easy to make and doesn't take very long to make. By no means is this a "Low-Calorie" soup, but it really sticks to your ribs and warms you up in cold weather!! Once you start to make this soup, it is ready to eat in about an hour!

Time 50m

1/2 large sized onion, diced
1 rib celery, diced
3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
3 to 4 c water (add 3, but may need to add a bit more)
black pepper to taste (this shouldn't need added salt...)
3 c milk (more if you want to add more)
2/3 c all purpose flour (in a shaker with 1 cup of water, shaken well to make a thickening)
3 Tbsp butter (optional)
2 to 3 Tbsp granulated chicken bullion. i use knorr "calde de pollo", but the low sodium. it's better.

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan, cook bacon and add onion...Cook until browned, reserving drippings. Cut the heat and add diced celery. Set aside.
  • 2. In a large pot, add cubed potatoes and cover with the water. (Add more to completely cover the potatoes if needed.) Cook the potatoes until tender. Add bacon, onion & celery mixture. Be sure and add at least most of the bacon drippings too. (This is where a lot of the flavor is.) Stir together.
  • 3. When the liquid is hot, add the chicken bullion to make a light but savory chicken broth. Add milk and butter. Heat to just under boiling temperature and add the flour & water mixture and whisk in to thicken the soup. Thicken it to as thin or as thick as you like. Add pepper to taste. This shouldn't need any salt... add if needed.
  • 4. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 15 minutes and thin with a little more milk or water if it gets too thick. Serve hot with crackers. (Garnish with some 'real bacon bits', shredded cheese and chopped green onion tops sprinkled on top of each bowl - OPTIONAL)

EASY CREAM OF POTATO SOUP



Easy Cream of Potato Soup image

This is from the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook with just minimal changes. I live for potatoes and this is SERIOUS winter comfort food. I inhale this recipe so it probably would make more servings than 4 if someone else were serving it.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups chicken broth
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups milk

Steps:

  • In a saucepan combine chicken broth, onion, potatoes and dill weed.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Put 2/3 of the mixture in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Set aside with the unprocessed mixture.
  • In the saucepan, melt the butter.
  • Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Add the milk all at once.
  • Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
  • Stir in the potato mixture and cook until soup is heated through.
