Contawe's Baked Potato Soup

This past weekend, Aaron and I attempted to make our own baked potato soup and I gotta tell you that it turned out really good! Soooo good that we want to share the recipe with you guys! It's perfect to cook together since it takes a while to prepare and I gotta say that we had fun making it!

What you'll need:
4 large baking potatoes
2/3 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup flour
6 cups milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp white pepper
4 green onions, chopped, divided use
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided use
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided use
8 ounces sour cream

What you'll need to do:
Wash, dry, and prick potatoes with fork. Bake in 400-degree oven for 1 hour or until done. Let cool.

Cut potatoes into half lengthwise and scoop out pulp; set aside. Use skins for something else, such as stuffed potato skins.

Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Gradually add milk, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thickened and bubbly.

Add potato pulp, salt, pepper, 2 Tbsp. green onion, half the bacon and 1 cup of the cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated.

Stir in sour cream. Add extra milk if necessary for desired consistency.

Serve with remaining green onions, bacon and cheese.

We hope you guys enjoy it as much as we do!!
