KARE in the Kitchen: Leftover Mashed Potato Soup

There are rarely leftover mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving, but if there are some... you must try Kowalski's leftover mashed potato soup recipe!

MINNEAPOLIS — Kowalski's Easy Cream of Potato Soup

Serves 6

  • ¼ cup Kowalski's Fresh Soup Mix or Mirepoix
  • Extra Virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 24 oz. refrigerated mashed potatoes
  • ¼ cup half-and-half
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Garnishes to taste: snipped fresh chives and freshly ground sea salt and black peppercorns

In a small pan, sauté soup mix in a little olive oil until it begins to brown, stirring frequently. Add garlic and thyme; cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. 

Process mixture in a blender with chicken stock until smooth. 

In a large saucepan, add stock mixture to mashed potatoes; bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. 

Stir in half-and-half and cheese. 

Reduce heat so soup does not return to a boil; heat through. 

Garnish with chives, a drizzle of Kowalski's Extra Virgin olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. 

Serve immediately.
