Creamy Potato Soup
published by KittyK on Nov 11, 2011
This is a very hearty soup made with baked potatoes and is simple yet filling and delicious. The toppings and sharp cheddar cheese renders much flavor to the soup – enjoy with crusty bread, a glass of wine and warm-burning fire in the fireplace.
CREAMY POTATO SOUP
2 Russet Potatoes (approximately 8oz. each)
3 Tbsp. Butter
1/2 Cup Onion, chopped fine
1/3 Cup Celery, chopped fine
3 Tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Tsp. Thyme, crushed
1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt
2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated/shredded
1 Cup Chicken Broth/Stock
4 Cups Heavy Cream (or half and half)
3 Pieces Bacon, cooked
4 Tbsp. Green Onions, chopped
Sour Cream
Fresh Cilantro Sprigs
Bake potatoes in over at 425 degrees for 1 hour. Peel and slice into chunks when cool and set aside.
In large saucepan melt butter and add onion and celery, stirring until tender. Add flour, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in potatoes and add heavy cream. Add 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and broth and cook until thickened. Mash the potatoes and mixture until relatively smooth.
Serve in individual bowls topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions, sour cream and sprigs of cilantro

I would not mind a good potato soup right now. Though, if I remember correctly I said something similar about the chicken food I read about a bit earlier

As long as there’s cheddar cheese, I’d be half full already with delight.
