Loaded Baked Potato Soup
6 large potatoes, scrubbed
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
6 cups milk
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1 cup sour cream
10 slices bacon, fried crisp
1/4 teaspoon salt
Bake potatoes until tender. I microwave them to save time, but an oven works too.
While potatoes are microwaving or during the last 10-15 minutes of baking time, melt butter in large saucepan. Whisk in flour and continue to cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly (about 1 minute). Add milk slowly, about 1 cup at a time. Continue to whisk frequently. Chop warm potatoes into cubes Once soup is warmed through and slightly thickened, add potatoes, 6-oz grated cheese and sour cream and salt. Heat until until cheese is melted. Stir in onion and bacon, reserving a little bacon for garnish. Serve in individual bowls garnished with a pinch of reserved cheese and a few crumbles of bacon. Makes 6-8 servings.
