Fully Loaded Baked Potato Soup

4 large baking potatoes
6 slices of bacon
1/2 cup all purpose flour
6 cups 2 % milk (I used skim milk)
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (I used reduced fat cheese)
salt and pepper
4 ounces sour cream (I used reduced fat sour cream)
4 green onions, chopped

Bake 2 of the potatoes in the oven like you would a normal baked potato

Then with the other 2 potatoes peel and cube and boil those

Slice the bacon into think strips and cook in a large pot, then remove the bacon but leave the drippings

Add the four to the drippings and use a whisk to get it all mixed together, then continue to whisk and add the milk, let it all come together for about 15 minutes.

Then after the baked potatoes are ready scoop out the potato part and add to the milk mixture and mash with the back of the spoon.

Then add the potatoes that have been boiled and let that all come together for about 20 minutes.

Then add 3/4 of the cheddar cheese and the bacon (crumbled), salt and pepper.

Divide the soup up into your bowls and top with cheddar cheese, green onions and sour cream.

Enjoy!!!!
