Baked Potato Soup

Source- Meijer Mealbox

I don't often make soup, so when I came across this recipe I decided to give it a try.  Am I ever glad I did, this is amazing.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup flour
• 4  green onions, chopped, divided
• 4 cups milk
• 2 cups peeled, diced baking potato
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Preparation

• Melt butter in Dutch oven over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth.
• Cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute until thickened and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk. 
• Stir in potato, half of green onions, salt and pepper. 
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 30 minutes or until thickened and potato is done.
• Stir in 1 cup cheese; cook 5 minutes more. 
• Serve with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon sprinkled on top of soup.

Next Time-  I wouldn't change anything.  Or perhaps just doubling the recipe so that we have more for leftovers.  This is really good, and goes quick!
