BAKED POTATO SOUP
If we're being honest, a baked potato isn't really about the potato. It's about the toppings: plush sour cream, butter, cheese, salty bacon, bright scallions. This soup version doesn't skimp on those extras: The potatoes simmer in milk with garlic and scallions until just tender, then they join sour cream and Cheddar in the pot before the toppings - including potato skins - are added. It's potatoey, creamy and adaptable. Make it smooth or textured, skip the bacon and serve it with a side salad (though it's plenty hearty all on its own).

Steps:
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the bacon (if using) until crisp, 12 to 13 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate or cutting board. Return the pot with just 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat to the stove. (If there's not enough fat, supplement with butter to total 3 tablespoons.) If making the soup vegetarian, melt butter in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Over medium-low heat, sauté the white parts of the scallions and the garlic until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning the garlic. Add the potatoes, milk and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (resist the urge to heat it faster as this can lead to curdling). Once at a boil, lower the heat and simmer covered until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- As soup simmers, prepare the potato skins: Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Working in batches if needed, add the potato peels in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until crisp and golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or cutting board, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, cayenne and garlic powder. Crumble and set aside.
- Once the potatoes are tender, take the pot off the heat, and purée the mixture with an immersion blender if you'd like a smooth soup. (Mash with a potato masher if you'd like a chunkier soup.) Stir in the sour cream and cheese until combined, then season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with crumbled bacon, more sour cream and Cheddar and the green parts of the scallions. Top with potato peels (eat any extra as chips, dipped in ketchup and mustard).

ALMOST-FAMOUS BAKED POTATO SOUP
For a place with a carb-forward name, Panera Bread sells a lot of soup: nearly 250 million cups per year. Broccoli Cheddar has been the chain's perennial best seller, and the creamy Baked Potato Soup has never been far behind. The company has taken the potato soup off most menus permanently, and although we're not sure why it disappeared, we have a fix: Our test kitchen chefs created this version you can make at home.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, scallion whites and a big pinch of salt to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the flour, celery seeds and white pepper; stir until combined.
- Add the potatoes, 3 1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and transfer 1/2 cup of the potatoes to a blender. Add the half-and-half, cream cheese and parmesan and blend until very smooth. Gently stir the mixture into the pot along with the scallion greens, hot sauce and half of the bacon. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat; season with salt.
- Divide the soup among bowls. Top with cheddar cheese, the remaining bacon and chives.

BAKED POTATO AND GREENS SOUP
From the Veganomicon. This is the best potato soup I've ever made (and I have made many). I use Marsala wine, large red-skinned potatoes and vary the herbs based on what came out of the garden. I also just use skim milk in this because I'm not actually vegan. The great idea for this soup is that you bake the potatoes ahead of time, keep them in the fridge, then can pull together potato soup in 30 min after getting home from work. I like to make this in the same week as a casserole, so I just bake the potatoes while the other meal is cooking, then use them later in the week.

Steps:
- Preheat soup pot and saute the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat until good and brown, about 12 minutes.
- Slice the baked potatoes in half lengthwise. Slice into 3/4" chunks. Three of the halves may be reserved, sliced in half, dredged in cornmeal with spices, then pan-fried into a sort of french fry crouton, if desired.
- Once the onions are browned, add the garlic, fennel, thyme, sage, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 2 more minutes, then add the wine to deglaze the pan. Add the chunks of potatoes and the broth, cover and lower the heat to bring to a low boil. Mix in the kale. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes more.
- Use a potato masher to mush up about half of the soup (do not use an immersion blender here as it will make the potatoes pasty). Add the soy milk and mix. If it's too thick, add a little water or vegetable broth.
- Ladle into bowls and top with potato croutons if desired.

- In a large pot on the stovetop, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute. Add the milk and chicken broth and stir to combine. Add the potatoes, salt and green onion and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to a bit below medium-low. Cook, stirring regularly, until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. **Stir regularly to avoid the potatoes sticking to the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat a bit under the pot if it seems to be boiling too vigorously.
- Once potatoes are tender, still in sour cream and cook another couple of minutes to warm through. Taste soup and add additional salt as needed. If your soup tastes a bit bland, it needs salt! A little freshly ground pepper is nice, as well. (If you soup is a bit too thick for your liking, or to stretch it a little bit further, thin with. bit more broth or milk).

- Preheat oven to 400F. Pierce potatoes with a fork and bake for about 1 hour directly on oven rack, or until fork tender.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them, transfer to a large bowl, and mash the flesh. I mash coarsely so there are big potato chunks but mash as small as desired; set aside.
- To a a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the butter, flour, and cook over medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until flour is thickened. You’re making a roux and it’s very important the mixture is thick or soup will never thicken properly later.
