Everyone who has tried this soup loves it. It is a good soup for veggie haters. Baking the potatoes first gives them the perfect texture for this thick creamy soup. You won't be disappointed. I always serve this with crackers and top the soup with a bit more shredded Cheddar, crumbled bacon, and a dollop of sour cream.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 3 cups)
1 bunch radishes, trimmed and quartered (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices uncured bacon, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 ribs celery, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
Hot sauce, optional
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, for serving, optional
Sour cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Place a large baking sheet in the center rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower and radishes with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until the vegetables are tender and caramelized in spots, stirring once or twice, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Place the bacon in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and golden, 10 to 13 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a small dish. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Add the onion and celery to the pan, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the broth, add the roasted vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, partially cover and simmer to allow the flavors to meld, about 20 minutes.
  • Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender. Add the butter and 3/4 cup cheese and blend, being careful of hot liquid, until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce if desired. Return the soup to the pan to rewarm if needed.

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.

COOKING LIGHT LOADED POTATO SOUP



Cooking Light Loaded Potato Soup image

I made this with regular potatoes and left the skins on. I didn't use low-fat milk or reduced-fat sour cream (I don't care for either one). I did use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon (it's what I had). This is quick to prepare, and very flavorful--difficult to stop eating. Absolutely love it.
