Instructions
1-Making Outback Steakhouse Potato Soup at home is straightforward and fun. This recipe takes about 45 minutes and serves 8, so it’s great for feeding the family. Start by boiling the diced potatoes and setting them aside to keep things simple and efficient.
2-Next, in a large pot, simmer the chicken broth, onions, salt, pepper, and water for 20 minutes to build a flavorful base. While that cooks, melt the butter in another pan and blend it with flour to make a roux, which helps thicken the soup nicely.
3-Once the roux is ready, gradually add it to the broth mixture and stir well. Then, slowly mix in the heavy cream to make the soup even thicker and creamier. After simmering for another 20 minutes, stir in the cooked potatoes for that hearty texture.
4-Finally, serve the soup hot, garnished with cheese, bacon bits, and chopped green onions. For a smoother flow, remember tips like using pre-cooked potatoes to save time or substituting beef broth for a twist. This step-by-step approach makes the process enjoyable and approachable for any home cook.
