Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes
- 1/4 pound butter
- 2 cups diced yellow onion
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 cups water
- 1/4 cup low sodium chicken base
- 1 cup instant potato flakes
- 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- salt to taste
- Ground white pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Prick washed potatoes and bake for 1 hour or until a fork pierces to the center easily.
- Remove potatoes from oven and allow to fully cool.
- Remove skin and cut potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan.
- Add the onions and sauté over low heat for about 10 minutes or until onions become translucent. Don't let the onions burn.
- Add flour and cook low for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring continuously until the flour is thoroughly absorbed.
- In a bowl, combine chicken base, water, potato flakes, and seasonings. Stir or whisk thoroughly to get rid of lumps.
- Gradually add potato flake mixture to onions, constantly stirring so no lumps form.
- Increase the heat to medium and continue cooking until the soup begins to simmer gently.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the soup.
- Add milk and cream, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Simmer lightly for 15 minutes – DO NOT BOIL.
- Top each serving with grated Cheddar cheese, sliced scallions & bacon pieces.
Notes
- Substitute 2 cups chicken broth for 2 cups of water for more flavor. You would use 2 cups of chicken broth and 3 cups of water for a total of 5 cups of liquid.
- Use 2 cans of evaporated milk instead of heavy cream and regular milk (cuts down on calories from the heavy cream).
- Use flavored instant potato flakes for a different depth of flavor.
- For a spicier soup, double the spice ingredients.
- Add some ham to make the soup extra hearty and flavorful.
