Ingredients for Baked Tater Soup For Mystergirl And The Sa S

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • Baking Potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Ham Stock
  • 4 cups warm milk
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon

How to Make Baked Tater Soup For Mystergirl And The Sa S

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce 2 large russet potatoes with a fork and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
  2. While potatoes bake, sauté 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until caramelized (about 20 minutes).
  3. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and add it to the caramelized onions. Mash or puree using a food processor until smooth.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of warm milk into the roux, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in the potato and onion mixture, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of sour cream.
  7. Gradually add 2-4 cups of chicken broth, stirring until you reach your desired consistency. Heat through until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Do not boil.
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon. Garnish with extra sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
