Reviews
I already gave a rating/review but forgot to mention I left out the cilantro, I hate cilantro. TheReaper!
As suggested by others I used chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Also, only used a fourth of a cup of sour cream and just 4 cups of milk, garnished with the bacon and onions for a wonderful filling meal
I love this soup! The second time I made it (1/2 batch) I added 4 cloves of minced fresh garlic, used some bacon grease, and used about half pepper jack cheese. Next time I may add fresh roasted poblanos. The basic recipe is outstanding, but it’s a fun one to modify too.
I was craving O’Charleys Loaded Baked Potato soup. I subbed a small yellow onion since I didn’t have green onions. Delicious!
It thickened up perfectly! Just needed to add some Garlic powder and I grated an onion in it too fora bit more flavor! Turned out really good! Everyone liked it! Even our 20 month old girls
Made as per recipe. Pretty good. Wife thought too much sour cream taste. It’s very rich.
Taste very good
I try to cook everything as healthy as I can, and it’s a major bonus when it doesn’t taste like I’ve left any of the good stuff out. I boiled my peeled potatoes and onions in water w/ chicken bullion, about 5 cups of water. I did use butter and flour as directed, but only 2 cups of 1% milk, 1/3 c fat free half and half, and the rest was the bullion water I used to boil the potatoes. I used Hormel precooked bacon which saved a few calories, and omitted sour cream and cheese. I planned to add some, but it was so good like this I decided not to.
Awesome and very few simple ingredients. The rue was simple to make. Make sure you do all your prep since it goes quickly once the rue is done. It was better than any other baked potato soup I’ve had in restaurants. Besides you can measure you salt intake.
I added a little more milk. It was too thick as is. Tastes great and I will make it again!
No changes are needed, it’s DELICIOUS!! It’s really GOOD & quite thick… I microwaved the potatoes instead of baking, (to save time!) then peeled off the skin & cut into cubes…The second day, it needed to be ”thinned” out with milk, but it still had great flavor & it’s VERY FILLING!!! My husband had never had double baked potato soup before & he LOVED this… It’s great Comfort Food in these colder months!! Will make this more often!!
great!!!!!
no was very good
Super delicious. I made a few tweaks. 2 cups of chicken stock substituted for 2 of the cups of milk, used hatch chili infused bacon, added a half teaspoon of bacon grease to the roux. I also pealed and cubed the potatoes and boiled them in water for about 15 minutes and then combined all ingredients and let them cook at high on a crock pot for an hour.
my favorite cold weather Soup!
I love this recipe. Today, though, I added celery/onion diced to the rue. I added some chicken broth to extend the soup.
Creamy and so rich, this is one wonderful potato soup!!
This soup was great, I made it with ham instead of bacon, but it still turned out really good.
I followed the advice of another reviewer and used 4 cups milk and 2 cups chicken broth, very good!
Subbed 3 C. Diced Ham for bacon (using up leftovers)
This was delicious! I did make a few adjustments though nothing major. I put in 3 cups each of milk and half and half. And my crew doesn’t like “real” onions, so we used onion powder instead. It turned out fantastically, the kids who normally avoid leftovers were begging to take some to school the next day!
