Baked Potato Soup

I should be writing my Christmas cards right now, but posting this yummy recipe seems like more fun at the moment. This is easy, easy so enjoy!

Ingredients:
bacon, I use turkey due to my no thank you on pork.
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup all purpose flour
7 cups of milk
4 large baked potatoes, cubed (I leave the skins on)
4 green onions, chopped
1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:
1. Cook bacon to your liking, drain and crumble. Set aside
2. In a stock pot, melt the butter on a medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the milk, whisking constantly until thickened. Stir in potatoes and onions. Bring to a boil stirring frequently.
3. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Mix in cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper. Continue stirring until all the cheese is melted.
4. Serve and sprinkle the top with crumpled bacon. Bonn apatite!

*This soup is excellent served in a bread bowl. yummy yummy
