Week 49: Baked Potato Soup

The Recipe
2 large potatoes
1/2 tbsp oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
pepper
crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp paprika
5dl vegetable or chicken stock
25g grated cheese
4 tbsp milk

Bake the potatoes until soft. Let them cool and peel off the skins.

In a pot heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent. Stir in salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and paprika. Add stock and potatoes. Puree until creamy.

Add the cheese and milk. Heat while stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is hot.

The Verdict
Somewhat more cumbersome to make than my usual potato soup, and tastes about the same. I don't think I'm going to make this again.
