Creamy Baked Potato Soup
Ingredients
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 2/3 cup butter or margarine
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 7 cups milk
  • 4 large baked potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients beforehand.
2
Begin by placing the bacon strips in a large, deep skillet and cook over a medium-high heat setting, periodically flipping them until they achieve an even golden brown color, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon slices from the skillet with paper towels and break them into smaller pieces; set these aside for later use.
3
At the same time, melt butter in a substantial stockpot or Dutch oven over a medium heat setting. Gradually add the flour, stirring continuously until it is fully incorporated and well combined with the butter.
4
Slowly pour in milk while whisking constantly, ensuring that the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
5
Add diced potatoes and onions to the pot, stirring frequently as they come into contact with heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
6
Stir in the crumbled bacon, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until the cheese is fully melted.

Finally, indulge in your delicious creation!
