Hard Rock Cafe Potato Soup

By Addie

You can make creamy potato soup just like the hard rock cafe does with our recipe. Potatoes, cheese, bacon, and more make for a tasty soup.

Ingredients

• 1 cup diced yellow onion
• 2/3 cup Flour
• 6 cup chicken broth
• 4 cup diced peeled baked potato
• 2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 1/2 tablespoon Granulated garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
• 1 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup Diced green onion

Preparation

Step 1

Chop bacon. Set aside. Cook onions in drippings over medium high heat until transparent. Add flour stirring to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes until mixture just begins to turn golden. Add broth (it helps if it is warm) gradually, stirring constantly with whisk until thickened. Reduce heat to simmer and add potatoes, cream, bacon, parsley, garlic, basil, Tabasco, and black pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. DO NOT BOIL. Add cheese and green onion. Stir until cheese melts.

This can be made ahead up to the point of adding the cheese and onion. Reheat the soup very slowly and gently. Be careful that it does not boil. Then add the cheese and green onion. Of course if there is any leftover it reheats beautifully. This soup is very tasty!

REVIEW:


We love this soup! I've made it many many times. I like to use fresh garlic and cook it with the onions. I also purée this soup in the blender after adding the broth. I also use dried spices and it's great!!!
