Baked Potato Soup Recipe
4 baking potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups 2-percent milk
1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
3/4 cup chopped green onions, divided
6 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
Heat oven to 400°F.
Pierce potatoes with fork and bake for about 1 hour, or until tender; cool. Peel potatoes and discard skins. Coarsely mash potatoes.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cup; level with knife. Place flour in large Dutch oven; gradually add milk, stirring with whisk until blended. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, about 8 minutes. Add mashed potatoes, 3/4 cup cheese, salt and pepper, stirring until cheese melts. Remove from heat.
Stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup green onions. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. (Do not boil.)
Ladle soup into individual bowls and sprinkle each with equal amount remaining cheese, remaining green onions and bacon. Yield 8 (1/2 cup) servings.
