DELICIOUS THICK CREAMY POTATO SOUP



Delicious Thick Creamy Potato Soup image

One of the best potato soups, I think the sour cream makes the difference, I like to add in the cayenne pepper for just a bit of heat, and I most always double the complete recipe and use 4 russet potatoes and 4 red potatoes. If desired you can add in some cooked cubed potatoes just before serving and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese, I most always do! you will love this!

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
2 medium celery ribs, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (optional)
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
4 chicken bouillon cubes (I use OXO brand, can use the small packages in place of cubes)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup full-fat milk (or use 2 cups half-and-half cream)
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 tablespoon flour
salt & freshly ground black pepper (i use seasoned salt)
1 pinch cayenne pepper
grated parmesan cheese
green onion

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a pot with chicken broth, onions, garlic and celery; bring to a boil and simmer until veggies are tender (about 20 minutes).
  • Remove from the stove and cool slightly (or you can refrigerate to puree later) using an electric mixer or a food processor blend until a smooth (leaving a few chunks of potatoes is fine!).
  • Add in 1 cup milk or half and half, Parmesan cheese and bouillon cubes or packets, then place back on the stove to heat slowly.
  • In a medium bowl whisk the 1-1/2 cups sour cream with the flour until blended.
  • Pour 1/3 of the heated potato/milk mixture into the sour cream; mix then pour it back into the remainder of the soup; stir to combine, then heat on top of the stove.
  • Season with salt and pepper and cayenne pepper (if using) then ladle into bowls.
  • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped green onions.
  • Delicious!

THICK AND CREAMY BACON POTATO SOUP

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato     Dinner     Simmer

Yield bowls

Number Of Ingredients 9

•1/2 lb (1/2 package) thick cut pepper bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped
•2 - 3 tbsp. Bacon drippings
•1 large onion, chopped
•4 cloves garlic, minced
•5 lbs. russet or red potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
•32 oz. chicken stock (approximate)
•1/2 pint heavy cream
•1/8 lb (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
•Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook bacon using preferred method until crisp. (I bake thick cut bacon on a cooling rack over a sheet pan so that it remains flat). Allow to cool and chop or crumble into small pieces. Reserve several tablespoons of drippings. (add more bacon drippings if onions look dry. This will depend on the size of your pot and particular onion.) Place a large soup pot or heavy casserole over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp. bacon drippings and cook onions, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes, stirring often. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally for a few minutes. When everything is sizzling nicely, add enough stock to just cover potatoes. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Mash potatoes roughly with a potato masher. Scoop out about half of the remaining mixture and puree in a blender (in batches!) or food processor. (Or if you've got an immersion blender, go for it with that.) Make sure to leave a good bit of the potatoes chunky, for texture. Add butter and heavy cream. Stir to combine well. Taste for seasoning and add more stock if soup is too thick for your liking. When the consistency is right for you, stir in bacon and bring to just a bare simmer, stirring often. Serve hot. Garnish with additional crumbled bacon and some chives or green onions. Share and Enjoy!

Thick and Creamy Low-Fat Cream of Potato Soup image

This is SO GOOD and tastes completely sinful, but it's not! Very low fat, but so thick and creamy thanks to the evaporated milk (thick like cream, but fat free) and instant potatoes. I usually make this in my crockpot, but it can be done on the stove top as well (simmer for about an hour).
