Holy Moly Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a 6-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 10 ingredients. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles; drain. Add to slow cooker., Cook, covered, on low to allow flavors to blend, 4-5 hours. Add cheese and onion dip in the last 30 minutes of cooking. Stir before serving. Serve with tortilla chips., Freeze option: Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add a little water if necessary.

Steps:

• For the toasted sesame buns: Set the oven to broil. Toss the sesame bun chunks on a sheet pan with the oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• For the cheeseburger potato soup: In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool, then roughly chop. Set aside.
• Add the beef and a pinch of salt to the Dutch oven and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes (it will continue to cook through). Add the onion, carrot, celery and a good pinch of salt and pepper and cook until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and mustard powder and cook for another minute. Add the potatoes, stock, parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a bunch of turns of pepper and bring to a boil, then simmer until the potatoes are tender (pierce with a fork to check), 30 to 40 minutes.
• Add the heavy cream and 8 ounces cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.
• Finish the soup with the pickle brine. Taste and adjust for seasoning as desired. Ladle the soup into bowls, then top with some of the remaining shredded cheese, pickles, bacon, a drizzle of ketchup, mayo if you're freaky, and toasted sesame buns.

Steps:

• Cut the avocados in half and remove pits.
• Using a teaspoon, scoop out pulp into a bowl.
• Mash the pulp with a fork or potato masher to your preference of chunkiness/smoothness (we prefer it chunky).
• With a spoon, mix in the fresh pico de gallo and remaining ingredients.
• Serve with warm tortilla chips and an ice cold beer or margarita, and your favorite Mexican meal (tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, chile rellenos). Enjoy!
