The BEST Baked Potato Soup Ever!
(Makes 4-6 servings)
I didn't name this recipe,
but it's definitely aptly named. Perfect Winter comfort food.
Ingredients:
2 medium potatoes (about 2
cups chopped)
2 Tablespoons dairy-free
margarine
1/2-1 cup diced white onion
2 Tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup instant mashed potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1 cup soy or rice milk
shredded cheddar soy cheese,
to garnish
1. Wash potatoes thoroughly
and microwave until tender. (I poked them with a fork first and it took
10 1/2 minutes on HIGH in my microwave)
2. If you would like you can
always bake in a 400 degree oven for one hour or until done.
3. As the potatoes are
cooling, melt your margarine in a large saucepan and saute your onions
until light brown.
4. Add in your flour to make
a roux.
5. Add in your chicken broth,
water, cornstarch, instant mashed potatoes and spices and bring to a
boil.
6. Reduce your heat and
simmer for about 5 minutes.
7. Take your cooled potatoes
and peel off the skin and chop up into desired pieces.
8. Add in your chopped up
potatoes and the soy or rice milk to your soup and bring it back to a
boil.
9. Reduce heat and simmer for
about 15 minutes or until it is thick.
10. Garnish with soy cheddar
cheese.
11. ENJOY!
