Potato Soup With Cream Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Combine broth, potatoes, and spices.
• Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender.
• Smash a few of the potatoes to release their starch for thickening.
• Reduce to low heat.
• Add cream cheese.
• Heat, stirring frequently, until cheese melts.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine the water and bouillon. Add cream cheese; cook and stir over medium heat until cheese is melted. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 18-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• Set aside 4 potatoes; peel and cube the remaining potatoes.
• Place cubed and whole potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain. Set the 4 whole potatoes aside; mash the rest.
• At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble and set aside. Cut reserved whole potatoes into small cubes and set aside with bacon.
• Heat flour in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat; slowly add milk, whisking until well blended. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Add mashed potatoes and stir well to combined. Remove soup from heat. Stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and mix until it melts completely. Stir in sour cream. Taste and adjust salt.
• Serve warm topped with bacon, cubed potatoes, remaining Cheddar cheese, and green onions.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into quarters. Cut sweet onion into eighths. Transfer both to a large stockpot.
• Place the stockpot over medium-high heat and add water, chicken broth, green onions, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, hot pepper sauce, 1 teaspoon white pepper, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
• While the soup is cooling, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop into bits when cooled. Reserve bacon grease.
• Remove 4 cups potato stock and set aside. Working in batches, puree some potatoes and onions in a food processor with some of the liquid; transfer to a slow cooker. Repeat until all potatoes and onions have been pureed. Turn the slow cooker to High.
• Transfer the reserved potato stock to a separate pot and place over medium-low heat until warm, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in sour cream until no lumps remain.
• Combine reserved bacon grease and butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook until butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour and stir to make a roux. Increase heat to high and slowly add potato stock-sour cream mixture. Whisk to prevent lumping and bring mixture to a rolling boil. Reduce to a slow simmer and cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour into the slow cooker and add the reserved bacon.
• Cook on High for 1 hour. Stir in cream cheese until melted. Reduce heat to Low and cook for 2 hours. Season with salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, saute onion, celery and carrot in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add soup, cheese, potatoes and seasoned salt; mix well. Cook and stir until cheese is melted and soup is heated through.
