Being a mashed potato lover my whole life (hence the mashed potato bar at my wedding), there is no other soup I enjoy like baked potato soup! I am so excited to make this tonight!
Baked Potato Soup
5 medium baking potatoes
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (I am using turkey bacon)
2/3 c flour
2/3 c butter (I am using Smart Balance light)
8 oz sour cream (I am using low fat)
6 c milk (I am using skim)
3/4 t salt
1/2 t pepper
4 green onions, chopped
1 1/4 c sharp cheddar cheese
Bake potatoes and scoop out insides. Mash and set aside. Melt butter and flour on low heat. Stir for one minute. Gradually add milk until thick and bubbly. Add potatoes, salt, pepper, 2 T onion, 1/2 c bacon and 1 c cheese. Stir in sour cream. Heat thoroughly. Pour into bowls and top with remaining cheese and bacon.

I am making Baked Potato soup today for us, and once I read your recipe to Derek, he made me quit looking for recipes and yes, "Yep! That's the one!" He loves your picture too...
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know how it goes :)
Thanks for the recipe!
Ash, how many servings does this recipe make? We have a neighborhood soup party coming up in a couple weeks, and I'm thinking this recipe would be great to make!
