Kristine's Famous Baked Potato Soup

from the Kitchen Klutz

This is not vegan...uses milk and butter...you can use substitutions as you

desire.

Here's another one that doesn't exactly fit into the Kitchen

Klutzes guidelines (four ingredients

or less), but it is simple, cheap and good, so I'm thrilled

to include:

 

Kristine's Famous Baked Potato Soup

 

Kristine says, " It is an easy recipe, and so good!!! I

would be happy to have you put it on

your web page, it is a much shared recipe, it has been all

over and back. I am really not sure

who created it. "

 

4 large potatoes

2/3 cup butter

2/3 cup flour

1 1/2 quarts milk

salt & pepper

4 green onions

1 cup sour cream

2 cups cooked crisp bacon - crumbled

(vegetarians can use veggie bits - Marga)

5 ounces grated cheddar cheese

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake potatoes until fork

tender.

 

Melt butter in medium sauce pan. Blend in flour with a wire

wisk until well blended. Add milk to

mixture, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste,

and simmer over low heat. Stir

constantly.

 

When potatoes are done, cut in half and scoop out the

middle. Set skins aside. When milk

mixture is very hot, mix in potatoes chopped green onions.

Stir well, add sour cream and bacon.

Heat thoroughly and add cheese a little at a time. Stir

until melted.

 

You can chop some of the peels and add them too. Or you can

bake them with cheese and bacon

on top. Potato skins are a great treat too!

 

This soup is so filling! I hope you enjoy it like I do. I

have also put diced carrots in it just to

sneak a veggie in on my daughter. You can probably play

around with this and make it how you

want it. Hmmm, I think I will run to the store and start a

pot of it myself - Kristine "
