Dad's Potato Soup image

It was always a special occasion when my Dad would cook. He never did it too much of it when I was young (except for shrimp dip on New Year's) so when he started to cook a lot in his later years it was fun to see and my Mom was overjoyed!

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large baking potatoes
2/3 c butter, melted
2/3 c flour
6 c milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 green onions--chopped
12 slice bacon--fried
1 1/4 c cheddar cheese--grated
8 oz sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and prick potatoes. Bake one hour and cool.
  • 2. Cut potatoes long wise and scoop out pulp. Set pulp aside. I leave a bit of potato in the skin and reserve to make baked potato skins to go along with the soup.
  • 3. Melt butter on low. Stir in flour and cook for one minute.
  • 4. Slowly add the milk while stirring with a whisk. Keep cooking on medium until thick and bubbly.
  • 5. Add potato pulp, salt and pepper, two tablespoons of green onion, 1/2 cup of bacon and one cup of cheese. Mix well and cook until heated through.
  • 6. Stir in the sour cream. Add more milk if the soup is too thick.
  • 7. Serve with the rest of the green onion, bacon and cheese sprinkled on top.
