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.

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.

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.

Tips for Making the Best Loaded Potato Soup:

  • Use high-quality potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are good choices, as they're both starchy and will break down easily in the soup.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. You want them to be tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth will work well.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Shredded cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onions are all classic choices, but you can also add other things like chopped ham, corn, or peas.
  • Serve the soup hot. This is a hearty and comforting soup that's perfect for a cold day.

Conclusion:

Loaded potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for any occasion. It's hearty, filling, and packed with flavor. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover potatoes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give loaded potato soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
