Baked Potato Soup
Baked Potato Soup
2/3 cup Butter
2/3 cup Flour
1 1/2 quarts Milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
4 large Potatoes, baked
4 Green Onions, chopped
1 cup Sour Cream
1 cup crisp-cooked, crumbled Bacon (well drained, plus more for garnish)
5 ounces Cheddar Cheese, grated for garnish
Chopped Chives for garnish
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Using a wire whisk, slowly blend in flour until thoroughly blended. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly.
Cut potatoes in half, scoop out the "meat" and set aside. Chop half the potato peels, and discard the remainder. When the milk mixture is very hot, whisk in the potato "meat". Stir in green onions and potato peels. Whisk well, and then add sour cream and crumbled bacon. Heat thoroughly. Add cheese, a little at a time, until all incorporated. Garnish with chives,
grated cheese and bacon crumbles.
Makes 8 servings.
