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     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 lbs red potatoes
1 yellow onion
1 bunch green onion
3 garlic cloves
6 slices bacon
32 ounces chicken stock
1/2 cup butter
16 ounces sour cream
1 (8 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (16 ounce) bag shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
1 cup heavy cream
salt
2 tablespoons white pepper
3 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons dried parsley

Steps:

  • Peel and chop potatoes into cubes.
  • Put potatoes into a large pot.
  • Add 32 oz container of chicken stock.
  • Add water until the potatoes are covered with liquid.
  • Add the whole yellow onion and minced garlic.
  • Clean the green onions removing the tips from each end.
  • Add the whole green onions to the pot.
  • Cook the bacon in the microwave.
  • Add the whole slices of bacon.
  • Bring the pot of ingredients to a soft boil stirring occasionally.

  • Stir until blended.
  • Add salt, parsley, paprika, and peppers. Add more to taste.
  • Serve with a little sour cream, shredded cheese, or crumbled bacon on top.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality potato: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are great choices for this soup as they break down easily and create a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook them until they are tender but not mushy. You want them to hold their shape in the soup.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options. You can also use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Shredded cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives are all popular toppings for potato soup. Get creative and try different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Make it ahead of time: Potato soup is a great make-ahead meal. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Loaded potato soup is a hearty, comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, flavorful broth, and variety of toppings, loaded potato soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
