Rich Baked Potato Soup

Tweet

I made a big pot of baked potato soup today.

I ate some for supper. I have some for tomorrow and have lots of containers for the freezer for whenever!

It's really delicious but I made it a little rich!

I didn't have 7 cups of milk, only 4 so I substituted half and half for the other 3 cups!

I wouldn't do that again, only because it sure doesn't need the extra richness.

Here's the recipe I used.

4 large baked potatoes, baked then cooled and peeled and cut in pieces.

1 chopped onion

2/3 C butter.

2/3 cup flour

10 stripes of bacon cooked well and crumbled

1 C shredded cheese.  (I used cheddar)

7 C milk

8oz sour cream

3/4 tsp seasoned salt

Melt butter in large soup pot, add onions till tender then flour and cook till thickened.

Add milk, cheese, sour cream, potatoes and seasoning.

Cook till thickened.

I use a hand blender to chop up some of the potatoes but leave some chunks.

Add in bacon and some pepper at the end and stir till heated.

Enjoy
