Lahni's Baked Potato Soup

Baked Potato Soup - Lahni R.

• 4 large baking potatoes
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup flour
• 4 1/2 cups milk
• 4 green onions - chopped
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 1 package bacon  - fried and chopped up(we used the low salt or no salt kind)
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese - grated (we use more than this, probably more like a cup)

Bake potatoes, set aside to cool.

In a large saucepan melt butter.  Blend in flour and milk with a whisk.

Cut potatoes in half, scoop out insides, add to soup when milk is hot.  Chop up half of potato skins, add to soup.

Add green onion, sour cream, bacon and cheese.

We add a little extra milk at the table to thin and cool the soup.
