After finding a good baked potato soup recipe, I played around with the ingredients and have come up with my own version. My hubby is not a fan of soup but he begs for this one. Ingredients:
6 large potatoes, scrubbed |
2/3 cup butter |
2/3 cup flour |
6 cups milk |
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated |
1/4 cup onion, chopped |
1 cup sour cream |
10 slices bacon, fried crisp |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Bake potatoes until tender. I microwave them to save time, but an oven works too.
2. While potatoes are microwaving or during the last 10-15 minutes of baking time, melt butter in large saucepan.
3. Whisk in flour and continue to cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly (about 1 minute).
4. Add milk slowly, about 1 cup at a time. Continue to whisk frequently.
5. Chop warm potatoes into cubes
6. Once soup is warmed through and slightly thickened, add potatoes, 6 oz grated cheese and sour cream and salt.
7. Heat until until cheese is melted.
8. Stir in onion and bacon, reserving a little bacon for garnish.
9. Serve in individual bowls garnished with a pinch of reserved cheese and a few crumbles of bacon.
