RESTAURANT STYLE BAKED POTATO SOUP

LEFT OVER BAKED POTATOES STOP HERE! Who dosen't like potato soup?! This one is infused with an amazing basil flavor. It is very authentic, but the basil gives it a little something wonderful..a new dimension if you will. I bet having leftover baked potatoes from a grill would really bring a new smoky flavor to this soup if you've got em'.

RESTAURANT STYLE BAKED POTATOES



Restaurant Style Baked Potatoes image

I have always wanted light and fluffy baked potatoes like I would get in nice steakhouses, but NEVER could do it at home! I found this recipe and holy cow.. IT WORKED!! :D Who'd a thunk? Key is to start with a mealy fleshed potato - Idaho is best I find. And the salt draws the moisture out of the potato while baking, making it light and fluffy!! It really works! Ingredient amounts are just there because they have to be, but use however many potatoes you need.

Tips:

  • For a creamy soup, use a high-quality russet potato. It will give the soup a smooth and velvety texture.
  • To save time, use pre-shredded cheese. It will melt quickly and evenly in the soup.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they are smooth.
  • For a more flavorful soup, use a combination of chicken broth and milk. The chicken broth will add a savory flavor, while the milk will make the soup creamy.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
  • Garnish the soup with chopped green onions, bacon bits, or shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Baked potato soup is a comforting and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality soup that your family and friends will love.
