Welcome to the yummiest day of the week – Foodie Friday! Michael, at Designs by Gollum has graciously compiled a list of all the tasty entries.
We had several guests for dinner last night…. Billy and Bob heard we were having Baked Potato Soup for dinner and decided to hitch a ride with my mom……
Baked Potato Soup
4 large baking potatoes, prick, bake @ 450 for 1 hr, let them rest for 10-15 minutes. Peel and chop – I like some larger pieces.
1 lb bacon, chopped, cooked
Make a roux with 2/3 C butter and 2/3 Cup flour
Stir in 6 Cups milk (I sub non-fat evaporated milk), cook until thick
Add and warm:
1 Cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
4 green onions, sliced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Just before serving add and warm:
potatoes and bacon
serve w/a dollop of sour cream and a bit of cheese
I crave this soup once every winter – I’ve had my fix. Now it’s on to lower cal foods for a while.
Thanks for stopping by. Billy, Bob, and I always appreciate a visit. I hope to see you on Monday for a metamorphosis.

This is one of my favorite soups…I love it…probably because I can have bacon and cheese in my soup and it is okay!:)
