Baked potato soup

Ingredients

12 slices bacon;

Two-thirds cup butter or margarine;

Two-thirds cup all-purpose flour;

Seven cups milk;

Four large baked potatoes, peeled and cubed;

Four green onions, chopped;

One-and-a-quarter cups shredded cheddar cheese;

One cup sour cream;

One teaspoon salt;

One teaspoon ground black pepper;

Directions

1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about eight to 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Gradually add flour, whisking until well-combined. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thick.
3. Add potatoes and onions, and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Stir in crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper.

Continue cooking and stirring until cheese melts. — allrecipes
