This has a few more ingredients than basic potato soup, but they add another level to the flavor. Very Tasty!

• 4-5 large baking potatoes
  2/3 cup butter (or less)
  2/3 cup flour
  6 cups milk
  ¾ tsp. Salt
  ½ tsp pepper
  4 green onions – chopped & divided
  8-12 slices cooked bacon – cooled, crumbled & divided
  1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  8 oz sour cream

Bake potatoes at 400°F for 1 hour, or until done. Cool, then scoop out the pulp.

Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat, add flour & stir until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring until smooth (use a flat whisk). Gradually add milk.

Cook over medium heat until thick & bubbly.

Add remaining ingredients, saving some of the onions, bacon and cheese for topping.

Enjoy!
