Instructions For This Baked Potato Soup Recipe
Make sure all your vegetables are washed and the potatoes are scrubbed with a vegetable brush.1. If you do not have any pre-baked potatoes you will need to bake 4 and refrigerate them. I would do this the night before making the soup. I prefer oven baked potatoes but if you wish to do them in the microwave that is at your leisure. 2. Cook 12 slices of bacon till it's nice and crispy. Set them off to the side on a plate with a paper towel on it to soak up the grease. 3. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pan. Add chives, leeks and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 4. Use a large cooking spoon with holes in it and scoop out the solids from the pan and add it to a large pot. 5. Add 3 1/2 cups rich homemade chicken stock and bring it to a simmer. 6. Crumble the bacon into the soup, you may need to cut it with a knife. Simmer for 15 minutes. 7. Now comes the fun part, call your children to the kitchen and have them crumble the potatoes into a bowl. DO NOT crumble them too much we don't want mashed potato soup. 8. Add the crumbled baked potatoes to the large pan that still has the butter in it. Turn the heat up to medium. Gently stir the potatoes, try not to break them up to much. Do this for about 2 minutes or until all the butter is soaked up. Doing this will give the potatoes some extra flavor without making the texture of the soup to greasy.9. Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese, milk, kosher salt and black pepper to the soup and stir until it is blended well. 10. Add the potatoes, stir well and serve. You can garnish this with some leftover chives, bacon, cheddar cheese and or sour cream.
