Baked Potato Soup I

A rich and hearty baked potato soup with smoky bacon, green onions, cheddar cheese, and a creamy base, perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Bake potatoes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 1 hour or until tender. Cool, peel, and mash.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until tender.
  3. Blend in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly.
  5. Add mashed potatoes, cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper; stir until cheese is melted and soup is heated through.
  6. Serve topped with bacon and green onions.

Notes

For a thicker soup, use less milk or add more flour during cooking. Leftovers reheat well and flavors improve after a day. Garnish with extra cheese or chives for added flavor.
