Creamy Cheesy Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onions and celery in the butter for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender.
• Stir in the water and potatoes, bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
• In a separate small bowl, combine the flour and the milk and stir well until the flour is mostly dissolved. Pour this into the soup slowly, stirring constantly, until soup has thickened, about 5 minutes. Garnish with the parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spread the Tater Tots on a baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until crisp, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese and continue baking until melted, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just softened, about 1 minute. Add the potatoes, chicken broth, 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Puree the soup with an immersion blender, thinning with up to 1/4 cup water. (Alternatively, puree the soup in batches in a blender, then return to the pot.) Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream and the remaining 2 cups cheese until melted. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the Tater Tots, bacon, chives and remaining 1/4 cup sour cream. Season with pepper.

• Boil the 2 med potatoes halved in stock until softened, remove to separate bowl.
• Combine 2 1/4 cups diced potatoes, 1 med onion, DICED HAM, and 3 minced garlic cloves and add to stock. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain off all but 2 cups of the water, then stir in the cream of onion soup, luncheon meat, milk, and Cheddar cheese. Return to a simmer over medium heat, and cook a few minutes until hot. Season to taste with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
• Add potato cubes and stir to make sure they are just covered with water.
• Cook potatoes until fork tender, maybe 10 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and set aside.
• In a large pot melt butter over medium heat and stir in onion. If using real onion cook until just translucent.
• Stir in the flour and cook stirring constantly for at least a minute to get rid of the raw flour taste. (If you've never worked with roux it will look like a really thick paste at this point. That's great- keep stirring :) ).
• Add red pepper flakes and salt & pepper.
• Slowly add the 1 cup of broth stirring as you pour it into the roux. Stir until smooth.
• Start adding the milk and cream and stir until smooth.
• Bring the mixture up to a low simmer stirring constantly. Simmer 2-3 minutes.
• Add the sugar and the shredded cheese.
• Stir until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onions and saute until the veggies begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and toss with a good pinch of salt. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the potatoes soften, about 20 minutes. Then add the milk and butter, and stir until the butter melts.
• At this point you have a few options. If you have an immersion blender, simply stick the wand in the pot and give it a few whizzes, blending some of the soup until it's nice and creamy. You'll still want a good amount of potato chunks in the soup, so don't go overboard, like I tend to do.
• You can also scoop out about 2 cups of the soup and transfer it to a blender or food processor. Blend until creamy and transfer it back to the soup pot.
• Or, you can simply mash a few of the potatoes with a potato masher, leaving it on the slightly chunkier side. It's up to you!
• After you've creamified it, give it another taste and add plenty of salt and pepper if needed.
• Scoop out a little for the kids and keep it simple for them with shredded Cheddar and a kiss of chives! (Chives are optional, of course.) As for you, adult faces, load up your bowls with plenty of chopped bacon, Cheddar, little dollops of sour cream, sliced jalapenos and chives!

Steps:

• Combine broth, potatoes, onion, garlic salt, seasoned salt, sea salt, cayenne, basil, and parsley in a slow cooker. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender on Low, 6 to 8 hours, or on High, 4 to 6 hours.

Lift the lid and stir two or three times during this stage.
• When the vegetables are done, turn off the heat and remove the lid and let the pot rest for 10 minutes or so to cool a bit before the next step.
• REMOVE THE BAY LEAVES. Blend the soup in three or four batches in a blender until smooth. Watch out for the steam! Transfer it to a new pot, or to a bowl and then back to the original pot.
• Over medium heat, stir the evaporated milk into the soup. Add a bit more hot water or stock at this point if you would like a thinner soup. Once the soup is steaming, stir in the cheese in small batches until melted.
