COPYCAT LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE LOADED POTATO SOUP



Copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Loaded Potato Soup image

Categories     Copycat

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups mik
16 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (mild)
1/2 cup instant pot flakes
2 large russet potatoes, diced and peeled
Salt
Pepper
Bacon Bits
Extra Cheddar
Green Onions, diced

Steps:

  • 1. Over medium-high heat, melt butter in a 3 quart sauce pan. 2. Stir in flour and cook until flour has blended with butter. 3. Add chicken broth and stir constantly until mixture starts to thicken. 4. Add in milk and heat until it starts to simmer, stirring the whole time. 5. Stir in shredded cheese until smooth. 6. Add in potato flakes. 7. Add in LOTS of salt and pepper to taste - it really depends on taste, but I used 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper. Start with a little and go up as you need! 8. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, or pour in batches into a blender. 9. At this point, bring your soup to a light boil and add in your diced potatoes. 10. Stir constantly but allow potatoes to cook until they are al dente. You want to make sure you keep stirring so the soup doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. 11. Alternatively, you can boil the diced potatoes in a separate pot until al dente and add to soup right before serving. 12. Serve soup immediately with cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.

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.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup pecan halves
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch sugar
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
One 10-ounce package prewashed baby spinach
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, fried crisp
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 50 minutes

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, carrots, celery and onions, and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan to toast the flour, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the stock, and then the milk and beer. Stir in the potatoes and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the soup until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and, using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Return the soup to low heat. Add 1 cup of the Cheddar, a handful at a time, stirring until melted and smooth after each addition. Add additional chicken stock if necessary to adjust the consistency. Sprinkle with hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Divide the soup among bowls and top with the remaining Cheddar, sour cream, bacon and chives. Serve with Gina's Spinach Salad with Spiced Pecans.

Time 25m

Yield 4 Bowls, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed cheddar cheese soup
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans whole milk
1 (20 ounce) package Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion
1/2 cup bacon bits (real bacon)
3/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the cheddar cheese soup and milk over medium heat. Stir frequently, until the soup is smooth.

  • Allow the soup to simmer over medium-low heat until it is heated through.
  • Ladle the soup into serving bowls and top each with 1 tablespoon of real bacon bits and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for potato soup because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a creamy texture.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and the soup will be too thick.
  • Add a variety of toppings: Top your soup with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, or sour cream.
  • Make it ahead of time: Potato soup can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

Loaded potato soup is a hearty, comforting, and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious bowl of loaded potato soup that your family and friends will love.
