Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Description
BBBRRRRRR........ Baby it's cold outside! I was freezing on my way home from work today and couldn't wait to put together this soup. I never made baked potato soup before, but since I Ron and I love potatoes- why not give it a try? This was a really simple dinner to put together, and it tasted wonderful. I didn't use heavy cream or cheese (except for a little on top!) so this soup is a little lighter than something from a restaurant. You can use whatever toppings you like, but we stuck to the traditional bacon, sour cream, cheese, and sliced green onion.

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme

1 Tbl Olive Oil
salt and pepper to taste
Bacon (topping)

Preparation
Place potatoes in a microwavable dish and cook till tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat butter and olive oil in a medium soup pot over medium heat. Add onions and thyme, and saute till tender. Add four and stir to coat. Slowly add stock, stirring to evenly mix. Add milk and allow mixture to simmer and thicken 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.
Add half potatoes to soup pot, and blend with an immersion blender. If you do not have an immersion blender use a blender, or add all potatoes for a chunkier soup. When blending is complete, add remaining potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

When I discovered this site, I was impressed that they have recipes for all types of cuisine. It was awesome; I don't need to buy any cooking magazine or recipe books for my cooking anymore. You should try also visiting www.gourmandia.com. All recipes there are really interesting and easy to be done. It doesn’t need to elaborate cooking recipes. It also gives me time to bond together with my family and friends while enjoying cooking in my kitchen. It’s tasty, contemptible, nutritious and oh so worth cooking!
