Loaded Baked Potato Soup


This soup is so wonderful!!! With all the gloomy, wet, rainy weather we have been having it was a great time to start making soup. My family loves this recipe. Thanks to Kelli for sharing it with us and to Jaime for sending me the recipe after Kelli moved.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

4-6 potatoes
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
6 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup green onions
10 strips of bacon / or pre-cooked crumbled bacon
1 cup cheese

Bake potatoes in the oven until done. (Some people like to boil them, but I think the soup tastes different.) Peel and cube potatoes. Melt butter in large sauce pan, stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Gradually add milk, bring to a boil. Stir frequently or it will scorch. After it boils, cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, whisk in sour cream. Add potatoes, crumbled bacon, and cheese. Garnish each bowl with cheese, green onions, and bacon. When reheating soup the next day, add some milk to thin soup, also don't heat in the microwave, it will scorch.
