BAKED POTATO & LEEK SOUP WITH CHEDDAR & BACON



Baked Potato & Leek Soup With Cheddar & Bacon image

This soup is fantastic! Think of a loaded baked potato with butter, sour cream, onion, cheese, and bacon. Now picture it as a creamy bowl of delicious soup. Yum! Potatoes are used skin and all so be sure to scrub them well.

Provided by Little Bee

Categories     Pork

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.

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Potato

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 small leeks, trimmed and chopped (slit lengthwise, and thoroughly washed)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups organic chicken broth
3 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 lb sharp cheddar cheese (or to your taste)
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream (or half and half)
1/4 lb lean corned beef, thinly sliced and chopped
3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (or scallions)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped leeks, onion, carrot and garlic. Saute the vegetables; stirring occasionally, until they are glossy and have started to soften - about 5 minutes.
  • Stirring continuously, sprinkle in the flour. Still stirring, gradually pour in the chicken broth. Add the potatoes. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender enough to be pierced easily with a table fork, about 15 minutes.
  • Place the shredded cheese in a large heat proof mixing bowl. Ladle in about a quarter of the hot liquid from the soup and stir with a sturdy wooden spoon until the cheese has completely melted and is fully blended inches Carefully pour the cheese mixture back into the saucepan and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Stirring continuously, gradually pour in the heavy cream and add the salt and pepper. Continue to heat the soup until it almost reaches the boiling point. Turn off the heat, taste the broth, and adjust the seasonings if necessary with a little more salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into heated bowls. Garnish each bowl with the chopped corned beef and the chopped chives. Serve immediately.

1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup butter
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 lb bacon, cooked crisp
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 cups pepper gravy mix
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In large pan combine potatoes, onion, celery, bouillon, and enough water to cover; boil until tender. Add the butter.
  • Add pepper gravy to the milk and stir well. Add to the soup mixture. When it thickens up, add the crumbled bacon and cheese. Stir the soup until the cheese melts. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a sharp or extra sharp cheddar that is aged for at least 6 months.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender, but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will make your soup gummy.
  • Add the milk and cream slowly. This will help to prevent the soup from curdling. Heat the milk and cream in a separate saucepan over low heat, then slowly whisk them into the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve the soup hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, and chives.

Conclusion:

Cheddar potato soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious bowl of cheddar potato soup that your whole family will love.
