Ingredients
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 5 sprigs thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds baking potatoes, like russets
- 1/2 pound yellow onions
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 baked potato
- 12 ounces Cheddar, shredded
- 4 tablespoons sour cream, for garnish
- 4 tablespoons scallions, for garnish
- 4 tablespoons bacon, cooked and crumbled, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a heavy 1 1/2-gallon stock pot, heat the chicken stock. Add thyme, salt, and pepper.
In a food processor, puree raw potatoes and onions. Add to stock. Simmer slowly for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add whipping cream and diced baked potatoes. (If soup becomes too thick, thin with water).
To serve, ladle 8 ounces of hot soup into an oven proof serving bowl or slow cooker. Top with 2 to 3 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese. Place under the broiler for 4 to 6 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Place on plate. Top with 1 tablespoon sour cream, 1 tablespoon diced scallions, and 1-tablespoon bacon, and serve.

This recipe did not turn out how I expected. It ended up flavorful enough once I added cheese and bacon. I sauted the raw onion and potato in the bacon drippings to give them added flavor. The texture is the part that really bothered me. By processing the raw potatoes to that degree, the soup became somewhat sticky and gummy. I was able to disguise it with cheese but also had to add sooo much salt to get a good flavor. I will not make this recipe again. It's edible, but not what I was hoping for. In the future, I would simmer the onions and potatoes as directed, but I would dice them first and then puree in batches to get desired texture. Just want to give you a heads up on the texture...

Not at all what I hoped it would be! It was gritty and bland, except for tasting like raw potatoes! I will not be repeating this recipe. Thank goodness I didn't make this for guests-just my husband and kids.

when i made it, it was good got a lot of compliments on it. On its own, it tastes like mashed potatoes kind of but was still pretty good. When you hook it up with the bacon and cheese, that takes it to another level.
