Tony Roma’s happens to be one of my favorite restaurants. For two reasons: 1) the baked potato soup and 2) the skillet brownie. So many times my two best friends Natalie and Stef and I would go to Tony’s (what we liked to call it) for these two reasons alone. I can’t tell you how many times we went. I even remember one of our favorite waiters names. Topher. He was great! Anyway, one night I decided to go on a whim only to find out it would be my last time eating there because they were closing. This was devastating news. I am telling you, devastating. Thankfully, a good friend had given this recipe to me. I’m so glad I am able to duplicate the exact soup I once loved at my favorite restaurant. Believe me, once you try this you will never do canned or Bear Creek again (no offense!).

December 23, 2019 at 2:36 pmI made this soup every day for weeks (at Tony Roma’s) and I never added instant mashed potatoes to the soup, or old mashed potatoes either (in response to a comment above).

December 9, 2022 at 3:46 pmYes, the potatoes were the refrigerated baked potatoes left from the previous evening. Cut into quarters and scooped carefully to leave about 3/16″ of the ‘meat’ in the skin. The skins were then used to make Tony’s potato skins.

April 9, 2023 at 8:17 amThis soup was almost the only reason we frequented Tony’s. Super sad when they closed here, and now are almost 200 miles away. I would buy gallons online if I could, hint hint, lol

January 3, 2013 at 10:01 pmI’ve never made instant mashed potatoes before.. Do I cook them first or do I just throw the package of powdered potatoes right in the soup?

Just throw them in. Works like a charm tasty too and I am not a box type of person. I had them around because of a bread recipe I use.Reply

January 1, 2016 at 11:39 amI have never tried it in the crock pot from start to finish – because of the different steps I would say make it on the stove top then transfer to a crock pot to keep it warm. Hope that helps!
