Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large baking potatoes (Idaho or russet)
12 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups 2 percent low-fat milk, heated
5 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces sour cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh 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.

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.

SALTGRASS STYLE BAKED POTATO SOUP



Saltgrass Style Baked Potato Soup image

If you've ever tried baked potato soup at Saltgrass Steak House (mainly in Texas) you know how absolutely amazing and addicting it can be. This is my take on a near perfect replica of their famous soup.

Provided by Lone Star Kitchen

Categories     Chowders

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 lb bacon
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1 cup carrot, finely chopped
1/3 cup green onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
2 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups prepared chicken base
2 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
1/4 cup finely chopped chives or 1/4 cup green onion
1/2 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
1/4 cup fresh bacon bits
fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Chop raw bacon into small pieces. Place in medium size skillet and cook over medium heat until well done.
  • While bacon is cooking, chop onion, celery, and carrot. You will want a very fine chop on this. If available, place in electric food chopper or processor.
  • Once bacon has finished cooking, transfer bacon and grease to a large stovetop stockpot or electric crockpot. (If cooking stovetop, place pot over burner on medium-low heat. For a crockpot, cook on high.) Then add chopped onion, celery and carrot. Thoroughly combine mixture.
  • Finely chop green onion and then mince garlic. Add to pot and stir.
  • Measure out black pepper, seasoned salt and white pepper. Add to pot and stir.
  • Allow mixture to cook & flavors to meld while peeling and dicing potatoes. Roughly 15 minutes. (I recommend a smaller dice to your potatoes for a faster cooking time.).
  • Add potatoes, chicken stock and heavy cream to pot. Mix thoroughly and allow to cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until potatoes are very soft .
  • Once potatoes are done cooking, use immersion blender to thoroughly purée soup. Alternatively, divide soup mixture into two batches and purée in a countertop blender. (Tip: Keep your hand firmly pressed on the blender lid to prevent it from popping open. Hot liquids have the potential to create pressure inside the blender and make the lid pop off.).
  • With puréed soup in pot, add shredded cheese and whisk until melted and thoroughly mixed.
  • Prepare optional garnish and serve!

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).

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

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).

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.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium russet potatoes (about 1/2 pound each)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium leeks, sliced and rinsed well (white and light green parts)
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups canned low sodium chicken broth
4 slices thick bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 1/4 pound, see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion tops or 2 tablespoons chives

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes, pat dry, and pierce several times with a fork. Set them directly on the oven rack and bake until very tender, about 1 hour. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
  • *Cook's Note: Sharp cheese works well in this soup because it melts smoothly. Extra sharp will give you a more pronounced flavor but because of the lower moisture content, the soup will be less smooth.
