I don't know if I've ever posted this one before. It's my hubbys most favorite soup of all. It really is awesome. It's not the most healthy soup out there but oh my, it is so tasty! I usually substitute most if not all of the half & half with skim milk (like that'll save you from 8 slices of bacon!)

Hard Rock Cafe Baked Potato Soup Recipe

8 slices bacon, fried crisp. Retain drippings.
1 c. diced yellow onion
2/3 c. flour
6 c. chicken broth
4 c. diced peeled baked potato
2 c. half & half
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 t. granulated garlic
1 1/2 t. dried basil
1 1/2 t. tabasco sauce
1 1/2 t. coarse ground black pepper
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
1/4 c. diced green onion

Chop cooked bacon. Set aside. Cook onions in bacon drippings over medium high heat until transparent. Add flour, stirring to prevent lumps. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until mixture begins to turn golden. Add broth gradually, stirring constantly with whisk until thickened. Reduce heat to simmer and add potatoes, cream, bacon, parsley, garlic, basil, tabasco sauce, and black pepper. Simmer ten minutes. Do not boil. Garnish with crackers, cheese and/or green onion.

Hint - For a more spicier version I like to use pepper bacon.

That sounds yummy! I have a question - do you cook the potatoes before putting them in the pot, or is simmering for 10 minutes enough to cook them through?

Also - you could make it healthier by using fat free half and half. That's what I used in the corn chowder recipe I made last night.

Skittles, the recipe calls for BAKED potatoes. They have to be baked ahead of time or you don't get the flavor that's such an important part of this soup.

Don't worry. We're all having Monday morning issues. smile

I've never made it with anything other than baked potatoes. I usually just cook a few potatoes the night before and then just assemble the soup the next nite. It's also easier to peel cold baked potates than those made fresh.

I also cook the roux for quite a bit longer (5-7 minutes), since the longer you cook the more flavor develops.

Wow - guess I wasn't paying much attention, huh? Too busy reviewing my HMDA edits this morning. Thanks for answering my ridiculous question.

OK, looking at the ingredients you wonder what it will [look like - taste like] - it is great though.

CRAB BISQUE

2 Cans Campbell’s Green Pea Soup
2 Cans Campbell’s Tomato Soup
1 Cup Milk
2 Cup Light Cream
1/3 Cup Sherry
8 oz. Fresh/Pasteurized Backfin Crabmeat
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

Mix soups and milk together until smooth.
Heat on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot but not boiling.
(CAREFUL!!!! CAREFUL!!!! It will stick to the bottom of the pan if not babysitting it or if the stove is too hot.)
Add cream, crabmeat and sherry.
Cook (actually you only heat it until the cream becomes warm) an additional 10 minutes. SERVE AND ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

Note: You can mix the soup and milk together ahead of time, before putting it on the stove, you can do this the day before and refrigerate or early in the day. The pea soup is very thick and you can use a potato masher to speed up the mixing process. Then you just have to heat and add the last three ingredients at serving time. Keeps in the slow cooker well if serving guests as in a buffet.

Here is another Potato Soup that is close to what you find in some of the restaurants. It is especially good for those of us who have issues with spicy items like tobasco, etc.

Baked Potato Soup

2/3 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup flour
7 cups milk
4 green onions, sliced thin
4 cups baked potato, peeled and cubed
12 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
8 oz. sour cream
1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ tsp. pepper
¾ tsp. salt

In a large kettle, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook until smooth. Add milk and continue cooking until thickened. Stir in onions and potatoes. Bring just to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Add bacon, sour cream, cheese, pepper and salt and stir until cheese is completely melted. Makes 2 ½ quarts and serves 8-10.

Our favorite soup is now Broccoli Cheese Soup and it is so easy:

1/2 onion
butter
broccoli florets (about 1 cup)
1 cn cream of mushroom soup
1 cn cream of chicken soup
1 cn cream of celery soup
milk
4 to 8 oz colby jack cheese (or your fav)

Sautee chopped onion for a few minutes, add soups and milk to desired consistency (probably about two cups). You can thin with more milk or water as you like. Stir well.

I like to microwave broccoli to give it a quick start in cooking and because I usually use frozen broccoli. I microwave one minute, chop finely and then add to soup. Add grated cheese. Cook until cheese is melted.

This only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, so it's a great after work dinner and my family loves it.

Warning: I am a "scratch" cook, so I seldom measure. Feel free to modify to your taste.

I can usually work my way around the dairy allergies. My corn chowder can be made without cheese, butter or milk and you'd never know it. Cooked potatoes make an excellent thickener. Then those that can have cheese throw some on top with green onions and bacon at the table.

My problem comes in using canned soups. Do you know how many items have wheat (gluton) in them? So I'm becoming more and more of a truly scratch cook using only fresh items and figuring out how to work around. The sausage soup was great yesterday for dinner, as was the wild rice soup on Friday. Looking forward to trying the seafood bisque next. Thankfully, the one with the dairy allergy also can't have fish so I won't have to tweak this recipe except for using rice flour instead of white.

Thank you all again for sharing. It's definitely changed our menu board!

Home sick today and tried this one. Super simple but really good!
Spicy V8 and beef flavored Ramen noodles.
Just use the V8 in place of the water and I added a little left over italian sausage. Its wonderful and really fast.

I found this old thread while looking for RR Sarah's Beer Cheese Soup recipe (that I misplaced somehow and was shocked to realize I didn't know it by heart by now) and wondered if anyone had some new soup recipes to add.
This one has become my family's new favorite

Sausage and Bean
1 family size box of Zataran's Red Beans & Rice, prepared
1 can kidney beans
sausage of your choice (we like kielbasa)
2 large containers of Swanson Beef Broth
Heat and eat.

My favorite crock pot soup is chicken noodle.
I put three boneless skinless chicken breasts in a crock with chopped onion, celery and shredded carrott. Add a little parsley and Swanson's chicken broth plus 2 T bulion granules. Cook all day on low. Remove chicken to shred and add egg noodles when you get home. Super simple and delicious.

A CU, Where Regs Don't Apply
Speaking of kale...this is one that I recently made and really liked! Several modifications to healthy it up a bit and remove some things that weren't liked by all. Will make more changes if I make it again, but overall really liked it!

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/sausage-kale-and-lentil-soup-recipe/index.html

Used ground turkey instead of sausage, left out the celery, chile pepper, nutmeg, and salt.

A little spice, not much. Would be pretty tasty with a full pound of sausage in it...but really ups the calorie count!
