Creamy Potato Soup Recipe
One of America’s favorite comfort foods, potato soup is served everywhere from steakhouses to country diners. Hi, I’m chef Jason Hill of Chef Tips and today we’re making a creamy potato soup recipe that’s dressed up with smoked gouda cheese. If you can’t find smoked gouda, a steakhouse secret to that creamy texture is a processed cheese such as Velveeta. Creamy Potato Cheese Soup 1 tablespoon dried basil 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter 2 cups shredded smoked Gouda cheese 6 small red potatoes, diced and reserved in cold water to prevent browning 2 diced carrots 2 diced celery stalks 1 white onion, diced 1 teaspoon garlic-shallot puree (or 2 cloves garlic, crushed) 2 cups heavy cream 6 cups chicken broth Turn stock pot on medium high. Melt butter. Add celery, onion, carrots. Cook down until onions are transluscent. Add basil and garlic-shallot puree. After 3 minutes, add potatoes and stir another 3 minutes. Carefully pour in 6 cups chicken broth. Boil for 20 minutes, then stir in a roux made from 4 tablespoons flour and 4 tablespoons butter. Wait a few minutes for the soup to thicken slightly. Add cream. Whisk and simmer for 20 minutes. Slowly stir in cheese and melt it down. After cheese is melted, pour into bowls and season with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
@loserface00ful i can’t believe it’s not butter?
Just made it for dinner. Very Very good!
Definitely keeping this recipe! Trying fajitas tomorrow.
@loserface00ful
Thanks! Glad you made and enjoyed the soup.
We make this at work in Del donte’s kitchen (Im coop though) But in our kitchen we blitz the potatoes in the soup so its thick and creamy its sooo good! i thought id never like it but its like the best soup !
@loserface00ful instead of mixing butter into the pot, you take half of the mixture and put it in a food processer. Then just pour the veggie puree back into your other half pot of soup. It will be smooth and you can still see some pieces of veggie, wich is nice and hearthy
wooooooooooooooow
@loserface00ful you could blend butter with olive oil to make a healthier oil..
@loserface00ful problem is butter just TASTES THE BEST id rather swim a few more laps and have some EXTRA BUTTER!~~

Potato soup? The only time I’ve had it, it had grated cheese which was improperly melted, and I really wasn’t impressed.
@thooker144
Yeah, there are some bad ones out there. You should try this recipe. I bet you’d be surprised! =]
@acf870
Good addition. Thanks for the comment!
looks great. does it freeze well?
@dsr20631
It will freeze. But it will probably break when re-heated. There are secrets to unbreaking soup/sauces. I should probably do a vid on that…
Add two cans of snows chopped clams with juice and some old bay, sugar,and touch of liquid smoke and you have one heck of a clam chowder.
@couchebag Sounds delicious!
mix in one can of tuna fish drained and one ounce of hot sauce and dont add cream and replace the chicken with veggie broth and it will taste very good :]
wow i want to eat that T_T
