EASY Creamy Potato Soup Using LEFTOVERS Mashed Potatoes

[@lilliankeane5731]

Bacon pieces added at the end for me please chef. Beauuutiful! Thanks Rik, love your work! ♥️🙌🏼.

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds great! Or even crispy bacon in a roll dipped in - Thank You. Best, Rik

[@HDCalame]

I was thinking the same thing. Or some bits of ham.

[@lilliankeane5731]

@ yes indeed, ham would be good too.

[@PaoloBanke]

Bacon like cheddar cheese always adds that extra spark :).

[@lilliankeane5731]

@ True! 😃.

[@AudreyWenham]

Waste not, want not soup! Truly the best! ❤

[@BackyardChef]

Yes I agree! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@kathrinekerns8398]

I was raised on a farm in Northern Idaho. We are potatoes every day. I still love a hearty potato 🍲 soup. Delicious 😋😋

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds great! I love the taste of potatoes. Best, Rik

[@Ejuicey]

Another winning winter warmer from the man himself. Smashing.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Lovely soup this one! Best, Rik

[@SharonKenny-l1w]

Forget your consommé, borscht fancy soups, this is proper comforting deliciousness 😋

[@BackyardChef]

Oh yes! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@jennyt966]

It's a long time since I made potato soup. We never had left over mash. My family loved it. I've always dipped my bread or toast into any soup. I'll definitely be making potato soup this winter. A lovely easy recipe. Thanks, Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed! Most will eat all the mash - a couple of spuds on extra and the work is done for the soup. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@heidid5275]

Comfort food at its finest. Easy peasy. ✌️🍻

[@BackyardChef]

Couldn't agree more! Well said. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@matthewgrant6742]

Your videos are the best Rick, I watch with my 8 year old daughter all the time. She cuts open everything she eats and says “Ohh, look at that!” Can’t wait to try this one next time we have leftover mash. I think I’ll try adding a few small cubes potatoes for texture too

[@BackyardChef]

Fantastic! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@lightgiver7311]

I always fry my leftover mashed potatoes with onions, this is an excellent alternative. Thank you.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

[@PatriciaCrosmas]

Perfect soup weather where i live, going to give this one a go. Thank you 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Enjoy! Best, Rik

[@alicealice4454]

Nice potatoe cream soup Rik! Memories of my mum came along she used to do it like you! And as a topping roasted buttered bread cubes and chives. Mmmh thanks so much lovely memories. Good old stuff! Regards from Austria, Al

[@BackyardChef]

Lovely! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@adreampainter1]

Mac and cheese may be some folks comfort food. Potato soup is mine. There are rarely leftover mashed potatoes around but I can't wait to give this one a whirl. Thank you Rik!

[@BackyardChef]

Couldn't agree more! Best, Rik

[@hansdampf4055]

A nice idea for using up leftovers! 👍 The potato soup becomes a delicacy when you add dried porcini mushrooms. My preferred use of leftover mashed potatoes: Mix with flour, 1 egg, marjoram and nutmeg to form a dough and then fry in clarified butter until golden brown. Applesauce goes perfectly with it.

[@BackyardChef]

Lovely! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@manomuncher1]

Oh God.. look at this 😋 Finished with a topping of grated cheese 😊 You truly are the best Rik!

[@BackyardChef]

Hope you enjoy. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@siph_horridus]

I always do fried mash potatoes with next day’s breakfast. But I guess this is great with leftover boiled potatoes too

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

[@Ann-nv5sm]

Never throw away mashed potatoes, make potato cakes in the oven & they can be heated in the micro wave & buttered , delicious. That soup looked tasty too Rik ❤

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed! Love potato cakes. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@PQ_Mont2021]

@Ann-nv5sm Hi Ann, can you please tell me how to make potatoe cakes(from left over mashed potatoes) in the oven ? I love cooking but I’m still learning. Thank you 😊

[@derekcomer4858]

Looks fabulous and I always love it when you lay into the parallel cut brigade 🤣

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Yes had enough of the would be chefs telling everyone rubbish! They teach this tosh at college. because they were shown. Best, Rik

[@diane9501]

I'm a dunker Rik and this is a fantastic option other than bubble & Squeak for leftover mash. There is no end to your talents and above all no waste Thank you Rik once again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@BackyardChef]

Fantastic! Appreciated. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@roger5159]

Lovely! I was taught to cut an onion like you do and since then have seen a lot of people make these parallel cuts and always wondered why! 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Good on you. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@HDCalame]

Hello Rik, Some diced celery with the leafy tops would be good to go in with the onions. Some small diced carrots too. As for seasonings, besides the black pepper, celery seed is great in potato soup. I love potato soup. One can use leftover baked (jacket) potatoes to make soup too. Watching this video made my mouth water. Your soup looks so good , so smooth and creamy. Lovely.

[@PQ_Mont2021]

I like your suggestion of adding celery leafy tops and celery seeds. Thanks 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You, sounds like a tasty variation! Best, Rik

[@rita1259-y5c]

You have become my favorite chef!❤

[@BackyardChef]

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

[@johnbaldwin143]

Never waste any for that can be reused. I do like to add sautéed leeks to mine. Nice one Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Great choice! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@PQ_Mont2021]

@johnbaldwin143 Great idea, thanks John.

[@pennykafai4645]

My dog is going to hate you Rik because he always has the leftover mash the next day with his meat and kibble- not anymore! Looks yummy.

[@BackyardChef]

Keep the dog happy - make a little more. Thank You. Best, Rik

We appreciate that you are doing more videos that are budget friendly, for difficult times. Great ideas!! Love ya Rik, from Ontario Canada.

[@BackyardChef]

A couple of extra spuds on when you make mash and then you can make the soup. Saves in the pocket. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@andysmith819]

I was taught to also cut the onion horizontally before dicing. I always wondered why, thanks for potting that mistake 😀The soup looks incredible!

[@BackyardChef]

Happy to help! We all were - what tosh. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@sharonwilliams2757]

CHEF RIK I LOVE SOUP ANYTIME 👌 I NEVER MADE POTATO SOUP BUT THE HELP WITH YOUR TUTORIAL 🥔 IT'S ALWAYS A WINNER 😋♥️

[@BackyardChef]

[@pandoraskiesYT]

My husband LOVES potatoes so this is going to come in handy! 😁

Yeh!you tell'em Rik risking injury to cut an onion?and once again a nice looking thrifty recipe and a winter warmer?cheers Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. I will be truthfull - idiot cut. They all think they are a chef - just shows they can't even see the segments in an onion. Best, Rik

[@lauraellen189]

Hi Rik! I love recipes using leftovers! No waste! Do you have any recipes for split pea soup? I use my leftover ham for that.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

[@schumi145gaby2]

I would roast the leftover mash in a pan, my mom always made it for me 😊

Nice one. I usually make tattie scones with my leftover mash but that's another great option.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

[@KayakTN]

This looks like a great use for those wretched instant potatoes that are always in the back of the cupboard.

[@BackyardChef]

Glad you found a use for them! Best, Rik

[@PQ_Mont2021]

@KayakTN Did you just say “wretched instant potatoes”? 😂 I don’t think it’s what Rik had in mind, but you never know…go ahead and make potatoe soup out of it. Let us know how it turns out 😉! Rik is an awesome Chef ! His home style recipes, simple ingredients, is what sold me…..also I love cabbage and Rik’s potatoe/cabbage recipes are the BEST !!

[@Plasmastorm73_n5evv]

Once again, blowing my mind and changing the way I cook. Who knew you didn't have to make those horizontal cuts in onions? The TV chefs here in the US all tell you to make those cuts as well as the school I went to.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. All dangerous tosh! Best, Rik

[@williamkendall7412]

Looks lovely! I'm thinking one medium potato diced small, boiled with touch salt till very tender, add it to soup after blending but before cream. Simply because I like some potato lumps in my potato soup. Maybe, as another person commented, some bacon bits!

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds great! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@bonniemiller4041]

Lovely and delicious Rik. I love that we're not throwing leftovers away.

[@BackyardChef]

I don’t often have left over mash as my son is a mash monster, but that’s a great way not to waste it. If there’s one thing I hate it’s wasting food. How can we justify it when there are people who are literally starving in the world? I find a use for everything. If it ends up I have to throw food away, I cry for a week! lol

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed! Thank You. Best, Rik

Left-over mash? … never heard of it! There’s no such thing! 😆

The price of oil now in the UK (any oil) butter is probably the cheaper option.

[@BackyardChef]

Wow! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@PaoloBanke]

@@PQ_Mont2021 Prices across the board are getting crazy. There was a little period where Lurpak the so called bench mark butter reached around $11.50 a half pound although it has dropped drastically since. But oil went and stayed pretty crazy like $6 for for for 8oz for virgin olive oil. The world goes crazy.

[@chrisfox3161]

Rik. I'm a great believer in sticking leftovers into a pot. Chuck some herbs or spices in. Big chuck of bread for dunking. The things you can do with a roast chicken carcass, some pulses and a slow cooker..?
