I wanted to use up several leftover baked potatoes. I melted some butter
in a pot, added the baked potato insides along with a little onion powder
and black pepper, and covered it with chicken broth. When the soup was
hot, I roughly blended it with a hand-held blender, added a splash of
milk, and heated it back through. I served it topped with cheese. A
little bacon and green onion would have hit the spot, too.

Sounds delish as is, but too bad you didn't have them!

I would have put the potatoes through the shredding blade of the food processor and added the skins in as well. I love potato skins in my potato soup.

Sounds marvelous! I love potato soup.

How'd you wind up with lots of leftover baked potatoes?
I sometimes think to make extra because they're so useful.

My husband had planned to pack some in work lunches, but the best laid
plans of mice and men ...

If I'm going to light the oven for baked potatoes I'm not going to
bake just two... I'll bake six or eight... then the LOs can always be
used in an omelet or potato salad, or hash, or sometimes I'll slice
one cold and call it a snack with blue cheese dressing. I don't think
I've ever used LO baked spuds for potato soup but that's a good use
too. But I'm not much into potato soup... I'd prefer them fried in an
omelet with onions, peppers, and diced Spam. If I was feeling like
cooking and eating high caloric I'd use left over baked potatos to
make potato blintzes.

Delicious and yummy.... I like potatoes very much but though potato gives high source of carbohydrate, it's bad to health. So i request instead of potato, carrot, beans, or green leaves with your style of adding chicken broth into soup is done great yummy taste. Healthy and apt for this winter.
