Calling all cooks, recipe request (baked tater soup)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I'm needing to make something tomorrow and I want to make a big batch

of baked potato soup. I grabbed this recipe from the files. I was

wondering if you all have a favorite or have any ideas, please.

I hadn't thought about adding garlic as this recipe suggests and

that sounds good. I'm thinking to add green onions instead of regular

yeller or white. Also, I'm thinking of using whole cream in whatever

I come up with.

Any ideas - I'm looking for I guess a pretty traditional baked potato

soup. Meaning, not the broccoli and cheese potatoes or veg. chilli

taters. Just the ole standard spud flavor with cheese, sour cream,

butter and green onions. Yes, this is definitely a lacto veg. recipe.

LOL.

 

Thank you for any input,

Shawn

Baked Potato Soup

 

3 – 4 lbs potatoes, scrubbed and pierced with a fork in several places

(the more potatoes you have the thicker the soup will be)

1 tbsp butter

1 ½ cups onions, finely chopped

2 tbsp garlic, minced

1 can vegetable broth

3 cups milk

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

Toppings: grated cheddar, chopped scallions, bac-o's (or other

vegetarian bac'n bits)

 

Bake potatoes in 400F oven, approximately 1 hr (or until tender). Cool,

then peel.

Sautee onion and garlic in butter in a large soup pot. Cover and cook

until soft, but not browned. Add 2/3 of the potatoes. Mash well. Add

broth, milk, salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally til desired

consistency (I like mine really thick).

Cut remaining potatoes into small chunks and add to soup. Stir gently

til heated. Serve toppings to be sprinkled on individual servings.

 

Note: if the soup doesn't get thick enough, you can thicken it with a

little corn starch and water.

Hi, Shawn,

 

Maybe garnish with chopped chives for a nice " baked potato " taste?

Sounds good!

p.s. Hope the tvp bits recipe works for you. It is very low on the

smoke flavor (the way I like) so you may want to up the smoke flavor.

Yes definitely! I'd like to top a serving with that along with a bit

of cheese. Maybe even those fried onions that go in green bean

casserole.

I can't wait to try them. I will probably make them and the soup in

the middle of the week or the weekend. I'll up the smoke flavor

indeed thank you. I can't wait to try the tvp bacos - I could

probably find several things to sprinkle these on. Sounds so good.

Thanks.
