Black Angus Potato Soup
Description
In this Black Angus Potato Soup, potatoes are baked until soft, and their pulp is scooped out to be used as the soup’s base. A roux made from melted butter and flour is cooked gently, and milk is added gradually, thickening into a smooth, creamy sauce. The potato pulp is stirred in along with salt, a blend of black and white pepper, chopped green onions, cooked bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
The inclusion of sour cream adds tang and richness, rounding out the flavor. The texture is thick and velvety, with small bits of bacon and green onion providing occasional savory and fresh bursts. The soup is heated thoroughly to meld the flavors and keep a warm consistency.
This soup works well as a filling starter or a light main course. It pairs well with rustic bread or simple side salads for a balanced meal. The bacon and cheese add substantial flavor, making it suitable for cooler weather comfort food.
