Steps

1. ### Baked Potato Soup 2 Cheese Recipe: A Comforting and Hearty Meal
3. Baked potato soup is not just a delightful dish but also an excellent way to enjoy the rich flavors of potatoes in a creamy, comforting soup. This version includes two types of cheese, making it even more indulgent! Here’s how you can whip up this delicious soup at home.
5. #### Ingredients:
6. - 4 large baked russet potatoes
7. - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
8. - 2 cloves garlic, minced
9. - 8 cups chicken broth
10. - 1 cup heavy cream
11. - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12. - 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or more if you prefer a stronger flavor)
13. - Salt and pepper to taste
14. - Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for garnish
16. #### Instructions:
18. **Step 1: Prepare the Baked Potatoes**
19. - Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
20. - Wash the potatoes well and pierce them several times with a fork.
21. - Bake in the preheated oven until they are soft when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes.
23. **Step 2: Make the Base Soup**
24. - While the potatoes are baking, heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onions become translucent.
25. - Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
27. **Step 3: Mash the Potatoes**
28. - Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool enough to handle. Peel the potatoes and add them to the pot with the simmering broth. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the potatoes until you achieve your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
30. **Step 4: Add Cream and Cheese**
31. - Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and Gruyère cheese into the soup. Allow it to melt completely.
32. - Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
34. **Step 5: Finalize the Soup**
35. - Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes to blend all flavors together.
36. - Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
38. **Step 6: Serve Hot**
39. - Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs, if using, or a sprinkle of additional cheese.
40. - Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
42. #### Tips for Success:
43. - Ensure your potatoes are fully baked before mashing to achieve the best texture in your soup.
44. - For a richer flavor, use a mix of cheddar and Gruyère cheeses. Gruyère adds a nutty, slightly sweet taste that complements the richness of the cream.
46. By following these steps, you can create a delicious Baked Potato Soup 2 Cheese at home that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy your meal!
