— PIN THIS RECIPE —
Would you believe there was a time when I would not eat potato soup at all?! I would sit defiantly at the dinner table and refuse to eat it. My parents would threaten me with the famous line of “having it for breakfast” … in which case, I usually responded by reluctantly eating it ….. without chewing – just swallowing and a lot to drink! The thing is, I don’t know what it was about it that made me not like it …… I just didn’t like it.
Long gone are those days. 😊 I actually look forward to the cooler weather just for a warm, comforting bowl of soup …. and yes, even potato soup! We usually eat it 2 or 3 times during the cooler months. You know it’s a big deal when I send a picture of my potato soup to my mom telling her that I ate it! 😉 True story!!
I rely on my food processor a lot … It makes chopping veggies so quick and easy! I recently had the opportunity to try the Hamilton Beach Professional 14 Cup Dicing Food Processor! It dices, slices, shreds, kneads, chops, mixes, and purees to your exact specifications with this one appliance!!
The adjustable slicing blade has 14 thickness settings allowing you to slice the thinnest potato slices, and the dicing blade allows you to cut uniform ingredients for salsa, chutneys and more. Yes, this food processor has a DICING BADE!! Seriously, I love it!! I used the dicing blade to cut the potatoes, onions and celery for this Loaded Baked Potato Soup! It made prep work a breeze! I also love that it comes with a handy storage case to keep accessories organized and accessible!

Mmmmm! This looks like the ultimate comfort food (which would be great right about now, in the middle of a cold, snowy winter).
It's so cold where i live right now, and I'm hungry, this looks SO good!
Is flour supposed to be on the ingredients list twice?
Nope! Fixed it 🙂 Thank you so much for letting me know!
Omgosh first thing I would make is this soup! It looks so delicious.
Thank you for the recipe. Going to make it this week. Potato soup is one of my favorites.
This is perfect for the weather at my house right now. Cold and snow on the ground. A Hamilton Beach Food Processor would make chopping the ingredients so easy!
I make a lot of soups. Having something that makes prep of veggies easier would be wonderful. My vegetable soup would be the first thing I would make with the Hamilton Beach processor.
it's cold and windy here today and a bowl of this soup would be amazing! I'm going to give your recipe a try this week.
Susanne
I would make a smoothie or this soup. It looks delicious Jamie! Happy New Year!

There is so many things to make with this but I have always wanted to try to make some homemade salsa so it would be the first thing
A food processor that dices!!! WHat will they think of next?
I am unsure what I would make first with the Hamilton Beach® Professional 14 Cup Dicing Food Processor. It would be fun to find recipes that use each of the Hamilton Beach food processor's abilities, so I would have to start small and move up.
I would make a chicken vegetable barley soup.
I would make myself a yummy vegetable soup first.
I know what I'm making when we have cold weather again. Yum!
I have always wanted to make my own Hummus so tht would be what I would make first.

I have a whole bunch of soups I want to try and this would help!
I would make Salsa
We are not eating potatoes any more (though, I still love them) due to my husband being diagnosed with diabetes. I would love to try this with Cauliflower. I wonder how long you would cook it? I am going to try CLAm Chowder with cauliflower as well this winter season.
This is so good! I pre boiled the potatoes in water, strained them and then added chicken stock (about 1.5 cups) and this soup is amazing. Burnt my tongue trying it because I couldn’t wait. It’s the perfect thickness, the cream really gives it that warm comfort feeling in fall!
