Want the Recipe for Delicious Loaded Baked Potato Chowder?

In summary, the conversation revolved around different variations of a potato-based soup dish, with some preferring the Smashed Potato Soup from the "It's Good For You Cookbook" while others enjoyed the Chowder recipe. The Chowder recipe was praised for its versatility and the fact that it only required one potato to be cooked twice, while the Smashed Potato Soup had a more complex ingredient list. Some suggested adding additional ingredients like onion and carrot to the Chowder, while others recommended turning the potatoes skin side up for smaller pieces. Overall, the recipes were well-received and considered easy to make.

I made this the other night and it was awesome and sooo easy to make! This will be a big hit this Fall especially in Sept!
 
I agree! Thought it was great!
 
Have you had the Smashed Potato Soup in the It's Good For You Cookbook?

I'm wondering how it compares to that. I am a huge fan of the Smashed Potato Soup, and when I look at the recipe for the Chowder it just looks like it would be bland in comparison...I'm just wondering if anyone has had both....
 
Can't wait to try this one!
 
My leader made this for our meeting this past monday and it was good. I think I would have liked it better without the skins (im not a skin person) so when i make it, i would probably peel them with the veggie peeler (btw, the peeler is GREAT for peaches!)
 
We made the chowder at our cluster meeting also. It was great!! I love this recipe for 2 reasons. First I love that the potatos cook twice this gives you the opportunity to cook bacon, chop brocolli, shred cheese, etc. Second it has so many options as far as what you can add. Anything you would eat on potatos you can put in this chowder.

Becky, now I need to try the smashed potato soup. You made me curious and hungry!!
 
I agree with you, Becky. The smashed potato soup has really good flavor. Although I don't see why you couldn't add some chopped onion and carrot into the DCB with the potatoes in the new recipe.

The smashed potato soup also has carrot, celery, onion (all chopped fine w/ the food chopper), garlic, chicken broth, and sour cream in it. This probably makes it more than $1 per serving, but I'm sure it's still $2 or less per serving. You also use bacon, cheddar, green onion, etc...as condiments to personalize your soup. I keep trying to figure out how the Chowder could be any better.

I've been making this in the DCB for the past couple of years, and it's done in less than 15 minutes.

Actually, what I was thinking I'd do is just use the potato baking method for the chowder, but continue to use all of the ingredients from the smashed potato soup.:chef:

Loved the chowder too. I have a soup recipe similar to the smashed potato soup that we LOVE and make every yr. Didn't know how the new one would hold up to it in comparision. It's great, just different.

I think what guest will love is you don't have to chop and prep all the other ingred. like onion, celery, and carrot. (like I do in my fav. & Becky's)

Agree---could live without the skins---mine didn't break up into small pieces so ended up with large masses of skin.

I made the chowder last weekend and DH and I really liked it. For those of you that didn't like the big pieces of potato skin - try turning them skin side up before using the Mix N Chop. I microwaved another potato after I added the liquids to the chowder, it just seemed too runny. The original potatoes were skin side down and there were big pieces, the additional ones I had skin side up and it seemed to result in much smaller pieces. Maybe I'm crazy but worth a try to avoid peeling those potatoes :)

Becky - just for clarification - you're doing the Smashed Tater Soup in the DCB? Do you follow the directions but just subsitute the DCB? I LOVE potato soup and would love to try this one...especially if I can use my DCB. :love: TIA

Yes! I do it in the DCB instead of the pan on the stove. I saute the veggies in the DCB for about 4 minutes, and then add in the potatoes, milk, broth, cook for about another 10 minutes - and then stir in the sour cream. TaDa!
