Answer 1

Almost Too-Easy Potato Soup

2 cups milk
2 tablespoons minced onions

Answer 2

Baked Potato-and-Bacon Soup:

Bake the potatoes and shred the cheese the day before making the soup. If the soup needs to simmer awhile on the stove, you may need to add more chicken broth.

5 1/4 pounds baking potatoes
7 bacon slices
4 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
7 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 1/4 cups sliced green onions
1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) finely shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400°.

Pierce potatoes with a fork; bake at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool slightly. Partially mash potatoes, including skins, with a potato masher; set aside.

Cook bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add onion to bacon drippings in pan; sauté 5 minutes. Add salt, garlic, and bay leaf; sauté 2 minutes. Add potato, milk, pepper, and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in parsley, if desired. Top individual servings with bacon, green onions, and cheese.

Yield: 18 servings (serving size: 1 cup soup, about 1 teaspoon bacon, about 1 tablespoon cheese, and about 1 tablespoon green onions)

Answer 3

All the recipies in response to your question sound wonderful. I have a quick and simple way of making soup from left-over baked potatoes: Heat chicken broth in a sauce pan, cube the baked potatoes and add them to the pot. Add a pat or two of butter and pour in milk. You can make this as thick or thin as you please. The startch in the potatoes will act as a thickening agent. If you want to add cut up chicken or fish or shrimp, you will have a nice chowder. I use some Cajun seasoning, but salt and pepper will do. If you want to make it special, serve it up with a little crumbled bacon and cheese for garnish. It is quick and inexpensive and most people love it.

Two cans (12 oz.) evaporated skim milk
Five pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
5 1/2 cups chopped yellow or white onion

1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
For garnish:
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Chopped green onion

Saute the onions and garlic in butter or margarine over medium heat until translucent. Scrape them into the soup kettle, and turn on the heat to medium. Pour in the chicken broth and evaporated milk. Put in the potato pieces, bacon, ham pieces, bay leaves, celery seed and whipping cream. Bring to boil, and simmer until the potato is tender. Mash a dozen or so potato chunks against the side of the kettle and stir the pot to thicken the soup (you can mash more to make it thicker). Throw in the parlsey and stir, and return pot to simmer. Cut up some good rich bread, ladle the soup into your bowl. Sprinkle cheese and green onion on top to taste.
