0 LIKES UnLike

I recently enjoyed Cheese & Potato soup at a Perkins Restaurant in the USA (www.perkinsrestaurants.com). Is has to be the best soup I've ever had. Does anyone know what the recipe is that they use or have a great cheese soup recipe. This is NOT a blue cheese based soup but I think an American or Cheddar cheese.

Thank you for your help in advance.

  1. beer, cheese and potato soup

    Serving Size : 8

    2 medium baking potatoes

    1 can beer -- (12 oz)

    1 cup canned diluted chicken broth

    1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

    1/2 cup half and half

    1/4 cup cornstarch

    1 jar process cheese spread -- (16 oz)

    1 cup milk

    1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

    6 slices bacon -- cooked and crumbled

    1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese -- (2 oz)

    chopped fresh chives

    Wash potatoes and pat dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork. Bake at 400°F for 1 hour or until done. Let cook completely; peel potatoes, and cut into chunks. Set aside. Combine beer, broth, and Worcestershire sauce in a 3-qt saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes or until hot. Combine half and half and cornstarch; stir well. Add cornstarch mixture, cheese spread, milk, and red pepper to beer mixture; stir well. Cook, stirring constantly, 4 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Add reserved potato chunks; cook 2 minutes or just until thoroughly heated. To serve, ladle soup into individual serving bowls. Top each serving with crumbled bacon, shredded cheese and chives.


  2. They probably use up left-over baked potatoes that way.

    I know a restaurant which specializes in broccoli cheddar soup.

    Cook some potatoes, or use left-overs, & dice up about 1 cup/person.

    Heat 2 tbsp of oil or butter with 2 tbsp of flour/person on medium heat.

    You can saute some chopped onion if you like a little more bite.

    Whisk smooth until golden, add 1 cup of milk & 1 cup of stock/person.

    Add the diced potatoes & stir until liquid simmers & thickens.

    You can blend lumps in a food-processor or blender in small batches.

    Return to pot & bring to a simmer, add grated cheddar or american.
