ALMOST-FAMOUS BAKED POTATO SOUP
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.

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.

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 AND GREENS SOUP
From the Veganomicon. This is the best potato soup I've ever made (and I have made many). I use Marsala wine, large red-skinned potatoes and vary the herbs based on what came out of the garden. I also just use skim milk in this because I'm not actually vegan. The great idea for this soup is that you bake the potatoes ahead of time, keep them in the fridge, then can pull together potato soup in 30 min after getting home from work. I like to make this in the same week as a casserole, so I just bake the potatoes while the other meal is cooking, then use them later in the week.

Steps:
- Preheat soup pot and saute the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat until good and brown, about 12 minutes.
- Slice the baked potatoes in half lengthwise. Slice into 3/4" chunks. Three of the halves may be reserved, sliced in half, dredged in cornmeal with spices, then pan-fried into a sort of french fry crouton, if desired.
- Once the onions are browned, add the garlic, fennel, thyme, sage, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 2 more minutes, then add the wine to deglaze the pan. Add the chunks of potatoes and the broth, cover and lower the heat to bring to a low boil. Mix in the kale. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes more.
- Use a potato masher to mush up about half of the soup (do not use an immersion blender here as it will make the potatoes pasty). Add the soy milk and mix. If it's too thick, add a little water or vegetable broth.
- Ladle into bowls and top with potato croutons if desired.
