Potato Soup Recipe...amazing!

[jen012]

I got this recipe off Allrecipes.com It's sooooo good!!! Will definitely be making again!

4 Large Idaho Baking Potatoes
1/2 Cup Butter (1 stick)
1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour
6 Cups Milk
1 Teas. Salt
1/2 Teas. White Pepper
2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded (8 oz.)
8 Slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 Green Onions, sliced
1 Cup Sour Cream (8 oz.)

Garnish: Additional shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onion, and
crumbled bacon

Scrub potatoes; prick several times with a fork. Bake in a 400 degree oven for one hour, or
approximately 10 minutes in a microwave, until tender when pierced with a fork. Cool. Cut
potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp in chunks. Set aside. Use shells for a potato skin
recipe or discard.

Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven over low heat. Add flour, stirring until
smooth. Cook one minute, stirring constantly, to produce a simple, light roux.
Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly,
approximately 8-10 minutes.

Stir in potato chunks, salt, pepper, cheese, bacon, and chopped green onion. Cook until heated
through, but do not boil. Stir in the sour cream. Again, cook until heated thoroughly, but do not
boil.
