"Souper" flavorful recipes to warm you from the inside out
by Heather Berry | hberry@ruralmissouri.coop
T
here's nothing quite so satisfying on a cold winter day than a pot of
delicious soup simmering on the stove. Soup is a perfect slow cooker
entree for today's working person who wants to savor a home-cooked
meal after a long day.
When making soup, anything goes, so don't be afraid to get creative. If you're
not sure how to start a soup you're craving, find a recipe you already enjoy and
use it as a guide - then stir in some favorite veggies, cooked and diced meats,
or simply more herbs and spices. After a few tweaks, you're bound to come up
with a version that's a "souper" new favorite.
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Olive oil
4 large baking potatoes
12 slices thick-cut smoked bacon, diced
1/2 cup flour
6 cups 2-percent milk, heated
5 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces sour cream
Fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wipe each potato with a little olive oil, then place
the potatoes on a tray and bake for 45 minutes. The tip of a knife should go
through the potatoes easily when they're done.
Place bacon in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and cook until
crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Add the flour to the bacon drippings in the pot and stir to combine. Cook,
without allowing mixture to brown, until the flour and fat has combined, about
1 minute. Add the milk while whisking to incorporate. Cook over medium heat
until bubbly and thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
Scoop potato pulp from the skins and add to the milk mixture. Mash the
potatoes. The potatoes should be a little lumpy.
Add the cooked bacon, 1 ounce of the cheese and season soup well with salt
and pepper to taste. Stir until the cheese has melted, then remove from the
heat.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with sour cream and sprinkle with grated
cheese and chives.
