Baked Potato Soup

Kathrine's Recipe

4 large potatoes, baked - remove pulp & chop
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
6 cups milk
4 green onions, chopped
1 LB bacon, cooked & chopped
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
8 oz sour cream

While potatoes are still warm, remove pulp and chop.
DO NOT allow potatoes to cool completely first as this will result in starchy pulp!
Melt butter and add flour, whisk to make a roux (paste). Cook for a minute or two.
Add milk and stir constantly until thick and bubbly.
Add potato pulp and salt, pepper, bacon and green onion.
Add cheese and stir until melted.
Add sour cream and stir until melted and well blended.
Garnish with more bacon, onion, sour cream - as desired.
