How to Make Baked Tater Soup For Mystergirl And The Sa S
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce 2 large russet potatoes with a fork and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- While potatoes bake, sauté 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until caramelized (about 20 minutes).
- 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.
- 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.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of warm milk into the roux, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
