Add in potato flakes. 7. Add in LOTS of salt and pepper to taste - it really depends on taste, but I used 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper. Start with a little and go up as you need! 8. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, or pour in batches into a blender. 9. At this point, bring your soup to a light boil and add in your diced potatoes. 10. Stir constantly but allow potatoes to cook until they are al dente. You want to make sure you keep stirring so the soup doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. 11. Alternatively, you can boil the diced potatoes in a separate pot until al dente and add to soup right before serving. 12. Serve soup immediately with cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.

SALTGRASS STYLE BAKED POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Chop raw bacon into small pieces. Place in medium size skillet and cook over medium heat until well done.
• While bacon is cooking, chop onion, celery, and carrot. You will want a very fine chop on this. If available, place in electric food chopper or processor.
• Once bacon has finished cooking, transfer bacon and grease to a large stovetop stockpot or electric crockpot. (If cooking stovetop, place pot over burner on medium-low heat. For a crockpot, cook on high.) Then add chopped onion, celery and carrot. Thoroughly combine mixture.
• Finely chop green onion and then mince garlic. Add to pot and stir.
• Measure out black pepper, seasoned salt and white pepper. Add to pot and stir.
• Allow mixture to cook & flavors to meld while peeling and dicing potatoes. Roughly 15 minutes. (I recommend a smaller dice to your potatoes for a faster cooking time.).
• Add potatoes, chicken stock and heavy cream to pot. Mix thoroughly and allow to cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until potatoes are very soft .
• Once potatoes are done cooking, use immersion blender to thoroughly purée soup. Alternatively, divide soup mixture into two batches and purée in a countertop blender. (Tip: Keep your hand firmly pressed on the blender lid to prevent it from popping open. Hot liquids have the potential to create pressure inside the blender and make the lid pop off.).
• With puréed soup in pot, add shredded cheese and whisk until melted and thoroughly mixed.
• Prepare optional garnish and serve!
