I made this soup tonight and it was so good! I’m posting it to my blog so I don’t loose the recipe.
INGREDIENTS
12 slices bacon
2/3 cup margarine
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups milk
2 cups chicken broth
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
DIRECTIONS
Place the bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned. Drain, crumble, and set aside. In a stock pot , melt the margarine over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly until thickened. Stir in potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Mix in bacon, cheese and sour cream. Be sure to save some bacon, cheese and sour cream to place on top of the soup when it is served. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted.
