Who doesn't love a warm bowl of delicious potato soup? It's pretty great made with potatoes, broth, and some seasonings. When you add a few good tasting extras, it makes your soup even better.
The idea for a Potato Soup Bar came about a few years ago. When I would make my Delicious Potato Soup, when serving the soup up I would garnish it with lots of toppings. My kids didn't always like what I added, so to make meal times easier, I began to serve our soup this way. We are able to add what we want and skip what we don't.
Start with your favorite Potato Soup recipe. A few months ago I shared the recipe that I use. You can find my Delicious Potato Soup recipe here.
Now it's time to prepare the tasty add-ins. What you offer will depend on your family. That's why I love this idea, you can have as many or as little options as you like!
Ingredients
Cheese - shredded
Green Onions - sliced in rounds
Bacon - cooked and crumbled
Broccoli - steamed
Ham - cubed
Peas - thawed but not cooked
Kielbasa - cut into rounds and cooked
There are so many possibilities for add-ins with potato soup. Pick the ones you like and set up a bar.
Start with your soup, add the toppings you want, then enjoy!
Maybe you just want broccoli and cheese, or ham and cheese as your add-ins. Or maybe you want a little of everything.
Any way you fix your potato soup, it will be a tasty dinner.
Oh wow, great idea! And omg, yum! I can't wait to make this! Hope it turns out as good as yours looks!
ReplyDeleteHope you like it Cindy!
DeleteSuch a smart idea. Love this and will definitely do this for our next party.
ReplyDeleteIt's an easy way to please a lot of different tastes, so for a party it would be great.
DeleteThis is a wonderful idea!! It's warming up a bit, but still cool enough in the evening to enjoy a bowl of soup - only thing that missing for some of my family members is a dollop of sour cream =)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love sour cream! Thanks for the suggestion.
DeleteI am loving this idea! Thank you for sharing it! It's something that doesn't have to be expensive and is perfect for entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely idea. I love the idea of making a plain potato soup and then having the toppings available for people to choose. This is so great for serving a crowd with allergies and food restrictions. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! I would eat it all the time, wish my family would get on board :)
