ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP



Absolutely Ultimate Potato Soup image

I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound bacon, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken stock, or enough to cover potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
3 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Remove bacon from pan, and set aside. Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon grease.
  • Cook celery and onion in reserved bacon drippings until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Return bacon to the pan, and add enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes. Cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender.
  • In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream, tarragon, and cilantro. Bring the cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Puree about 1/2 the soup, and return to the pan. Adjust seasonings to taste.

These are really good. I always get complements. From Bon Appetit. ZWT West region (Idaho potatoes).

Categories     Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 russet potatoes, cleaned
vegetable oil
1 cup havarti cheese, coarsely grated
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • These small potato cups (each one is half a russet potato) are a great choice if you're short on oven space. The potatoes can be baked and stuffed one day ahead and chilled, then warmed in the oven for 20 minutes while the turkey rests before carving.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F Pierce potatoes in several places with fork, then brush lightly with oil. Place potatoes directly on oven rack and bake until tender when pierced with fork, about 55 minutes. Cool potatoes slightly.
  • Cut off thin slice from both short ends of each potato and discard. Cut each potato crosswise in half; stand each half on its small flat end. Using teaspoon, scoop out cooked potato pulp from each half, leaving 1/3-inch-thick shell and forming potato cup. Place potato cups in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Place potato pulp in medium bowl; add cheese, sour cream, milk, and cayenne. Using potato masher or fork, mash until well blended and almost smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound mashed potato mixture in potato cups.
  • Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender and deep brown, about 12 minutes. Top potato cups with shallots. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F Bake potato cups until heated through, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Caramelized-Shallot Soup image

This soup is a play on classic French onion soup with melted Gruyere. Sauteed chestnuts add a little crunch.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield Makes 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 pounds shallots, sliced 1/4 inch thick (8 cups)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 bay leaf
4 cups beef broth
4 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup shelled chestnuts, roughly chopped
6 ounces Gruyere cheese, finely grated (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add shallots and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Add wine, and cook until it evaporates. Add bay leaf and broths, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until soup is reduced by one-third, 25 to 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add chestnuts, and saute until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; let cool. Add cheese and parsley, and toss with a fork.
  • Ladle soup into 6 bowls; top each with chestnut mixture.

Tips

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, flavorful vegetables, a good quality stock, and creamy potatoes. It also means using fresh herbs and spices to add flavor to the soup.
  • Caramelize the shallots. This step adds a rich, sweet flavor to the soup. To caramelize the shallots, cook them slowly over low heat until they are softened and golden brown.
  • Use a good quality stock. The stock is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. You can use chicken stock, vegetable stock, or beef stock. If you're using a store-bought stock, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Add the potatoes last. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten the flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot. Potato soup is best served hot, so be sure to reheat it thoroughly before serving.

Conclusion

Potato soup with caramelized shallots is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a warm and satisfying meal, give this soup a try.
