JANELL'S BEST BAKED POTATO SOUP

4 baked Potatoes

2/3 c Flour

¾ t Salt

4 Green Onions, chopped

12 slices Bacon, cooked & crumbled

2/3 c Butter

6 c Milk

½ t Pepper

1 ¼ c Cheddar Cheese, grated

8 oz. Sour Cream

Wash and Bake potatoes, 450 for 70 minutes. During the last 15 minutes of baking time, heat milk in microwave for aprox. 10 min. melt butter over low heat and stir in flour until smooth. Slowly whisk (I use a braun mixer) hot milk over medium heat into flour mixture until thick and bubbly, remove from heat. Cut potatoes lengthwise while still hot and scoop out the pulp into cream sauce. Add all other ingredients except sour cream and green onions. Add them just before serving. Garnish top with green onions and bacon. Makes 10 cups.

Tip from Janell: I buy my bacon at Sam’s Club on the salad dressing aisle. It’s already cooked and crumbled and yummy! Also, I buy my cheese already grated. This helps makes it a lot faster. Tastes just like a loaded baked potato. Enjoy!
