Baked Potato Soup

I love making this soup, it is super easy, & really fills you up!

You will need:

2 large  baking potatoes

3 Tablespoons thinly sliced green onions (optional)

1/3 cup butter (optional)

1/3 cup flour

2 teaspoons snipped fresh dill OR 1/4 tsp. dried dill

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

4 cups milk

3/4 cup american or cheddar cheese ( i like to add more!)

4 slices bacon, crispy cooked & crumbled

To make:

Prick potatoes & put them in 425 degree oven for 40-60 minutes.

Let cool completely

Cut potatoes in half & scoop out each potato.

Discard skins.

In a large saucepan, cook 3 Tbsp. green onions in butter until tender. Then stir in flour, dill, s&p. Add milk all at once. Cook & stir until thickened & bubbly.

Be careful not to have the milk burn the bottom.

Add potato pulp & 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese.

Stir until cheese melts.

Ladle up into bowls & garnish with more cheese & the crumbled bacon!

Tip: I love to get some yummy thick french bread slices to use to dip!
